[TR] Building a 150 hp engine

[Ibsen Dow]

Hi Rick,

Would mind giving some additional info on your diff. swap to Z car? I am 
thinking of redoing my '71 TR6 rear-end with it's weak design. Has anyone 
converted to Datsun rear brake disc?

what year? cost to convert? weight change? do you use same of TR "do-nuts" 
for mounts? How do get hold of Richard Good?

thanks for any input
