There has been a report in one magazine in the UK of someone dropping
a Jag V12 into his TR7, it can apparently spin the wheels in all 5 gears!
(Is there room in a Midget? (up rating that rear axle would then be a definate
must :-) ))
I will look out the reference if anyone is interested, (the guy runs a company
doing TR8 conversions to TR7's and may give details)
=%-)
