Ryan K.----If one wanted to swap out the TR6 engine, I think the Supra
Turbo engine, with their 300HP would be a real kick in the pants. It HAS
to fit better in the engine bay than any V-8, (tho Dan Masters seems to
have worked in the Ford 5.0 rather nicely.)

So far as to whether the Triumph drive train would hold up, consider
that the stock TR engine transfers more torque in first gear than just
about any other engine can in second gear on up. This simply means to
limit the 'hole shots' and have your fun once out of first gear.
