I think it's probably too big, also. The Jeep as well.
A modern 4 cyl. will be lighter and have more umph than the TR6 motor, and
be a lot smaller physically.
I wouldn't worry about the engine management. It is all pretty idiot-proof.
To do a project like this, you really need to buy an entire wrecked or rusty
car to rob the whole harness and all the computers, relays, and sensors.
Then strip the harness down to the engine harness, removing lights,
horns,etc. You usually will only be left with a single wire to cut that
connects to the ignition for power, and the rest running from computer to
relays for fuel pumps, starter, maybe an injector resistor pack, and wires
running to the injectors,EGR, and ignition. Just start at the engine
computer and work backwards.
Measure one first, though!
