This one is from a 1956 TR3 in long-term (but not original) ownership. That engine's been in the car a looong time, still going strong without a rebuild. The guys who reconditioned it back in the day did a good job.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://4xdog.smugmug.com/photos/i-XvTTKzN/0/X2/i-XvTTKzN-X2.jpg" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://4xdog.smugmug.com/photos/i-XvTTKzN/0/X2/i-XvTTKzN-X2.jpg">http://4xdog.smugmug.com/photos/i-XvTTKzN/0/X2/i-XvTTKzN-X2.jpg</a></div></div><br><div><br></div>** triumphs@autox.team.net **<br><div><br></div>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/dlhogye@comcast.net</div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
