On Friday, 11/17, Chad McCubbins described his "Triumph" TR-7 w/
Ford V8 power . . .
"Ford 5.0L - We'll its a mean combo. Yes the engine's heavy.
Yes,I broke my driveshaft. Yes,I broke my rear end. Yes, I
ripped out a rear mount. Yes, it's been expensive. Yes I love
it. . . .
This year the car has been totally torn apart. Several $$ have
been spent with the idea of improved weight and drivability.
It's just starting to move around now, but with headlights and
stuff left to fix and a trip to the exhaust shop. . . .
When new combo is totally street ready, I'm off to get some times
and I'll report them here! . . ."

Ummmm, excuse me for possibly being accused of "flaming" someone
(it's my first time), but frankly I would be surprised if anyone
on this list gave a rat's *ss about a Ford V8 dropped into a TR7.
I know I don't. Hate to say it Chad, my friend, but you have way
too much time on your hands.
