Actually, I was planning to put the Triumph intake, chrome valve cover, 
oversized pistons, etc. and related parts on the tractor engine. BUT, I would 
leave the stock cam. (Might have to go to smaller carbs, though.)

All that and it would still be grey/gray.

I would even drag it to Triumph meets then!

engine in the TR4. I would jump on one of that model Fergusens, if it was
reasonable.

Hey Mark!  Why not go it a little differently!  Put the Triumph motor in the
Ferguson!  100 hp where 25 once lived . . 5000 rpm instead of 2000 . . .  45
miles per hour instead of 15 . . ought to be a mowing son-of-a-gun!
