     They have two sizes of heaters. I would try to put in the bigger one
(25,000 BTU) if possible....."
======================
I have been building a (very well insulated) house, which has kept me away
from finally finishing my now-19-year TR3 restoration project. (The car
does look good! ... but I have never driven it :()

Part of the house building effort involved a software analysis of its heat
load to determine what size of heating system we need. At our latitude we
have to use a worst case of -27C for I think 5 days straight, and assume no
sun. So BTU/hr things are fresh in my mind, unlike most anything else
anymore. The approx 2000 sq ft house needs 31,000 BTU/hr in the
aforementioned horrible cold. So I think a 25,000 BTU/hr heater would be
_plenty_ in  a TR3!
