Bob- put in the stroker- thats what i would want if I bought the car. put the
orginal and rebuildable 260 up to sell with the car IF you ever decide to. I
bought my first Tiger in 1972. guess it was an instant addiction and I cant
imangine not having one setting in my garage or in the yard etc etc. Now if I
could only afford that stroker engine and you can run the stock wiring. LOL
