Hi Folks:

I'm interested in putting a moderately tweaked Ford 3.8L V-6 in my 75 
TR7.  I think I'm up on much of the process, and the thing might be 
almost easy if I could find some more information about this mystical 
subframe that allows a TR7 engine housing to swallow the aluminum v-8 
(turning it into a TR8).  I've put an e-mail out to Rimmers, accessed 
their web page, but haven't been able to track it down.

Anyone out there have the parts no. for this beastie?  Any other 
information along these lines would be appreciated as well.

My apologies to the purists out there, and I beg their indulgence.  
Though I never liked the little 4-banger-bugger, I want a classy daily 
driver, and I can't live without a Triumph marking my drive, so there's the 
rub.

Thanks,

- Hu -
