Hi Wayne,

I agree with the general concensus that getting a "reliable" 200 hp from
the TR motor is unrealistic.  Every mod you do to the engine will
increase it's likelyhood to fail.  I have built many high performance
engines and reliability always goes down with increased performance.  I
have almost got my 289 Ford to the point now where it has the same
reliability as the original TR motor.
