The '46 used the 1800 engine and gearbox, also used in the Roadster. This is a miserable engine, a conversion of a prewar side valve design. I hav; /html/fot/2004-01/msg00103.html (7,203 bytes)

7. Re: TR7 Conversion to Land Rover V8 (score: 1): Author: BRITPAC@aol.com; Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2003 11:42:19 EST; Land Rover V8's are something we know about. Basically the 3.5 and 3.9 from 1988 through 1995 are closest to the 3.5 in the TR8. They have the cheapest replacement parts, and also have distributors.; /html/fot/2003-12/msg00013.html (7,928 bytes)
