Lies, Lies and more lies. They are cousins, but not the same engine. Of
course, when I was new to Triumphs. I feel victim to the same rumor. I have
seen this a few times in the short time that I have been reading this list.
I wonder if there could be an FAQ here. An interesting side note here. I
just read in a TR History book, that the engines and transmissions used in
developing the TR2. Were the same ones that Standard was supplying to
Jaguar.

I have been told that the Triumph Engine is the same engine that is used in
the Massey Ferguson Tractor.

I don't know how old you are or if you have ever had experience with a
Fordf Model A. If you have, so much the better. The Triumph engine is a
model of simplicity (so long as you have a shop manual). Labor cost of
$2,200.00 is exhorbitant, to say the least. I have two suggestions: Look
around for an engine that is in good condition or 2. rebuild yours by
yourself.
If you are mechanically inclined go for #2
