Paul,
A Chevy will fit, but it's tight. A Ford 302 is a better choice, as it's
narrower and a lot lighter. A Rover will also fit, but it's just about as big
as the Chevy, so it's a tight fit also. See
http://members.aol.com/danmas/examples.htm for examples of TR3s with a Rover
and a Ford V8.
Not that I'd want to encourage you or anything like that <BSEG>.
