I don't have any address or telephone number, but there is a guy in Garland,
Texas that runs a shop called 'John's Cars'. He is a Jaguar devote, who puts
big Detroit engines in old Jags. I never understood that. Seems like it was
the electrics that were bad...not the engine. But anyway, he sells a kit for
upgrading the TR7. I think he recommends using a V6. I don't know if he
still does, but he used to build them too. I almost bought one, but racing
never
left enough extra cash.
