All this talk of fitting the 6 cylinder into the 4A... I don't get
it... Anybody have a TR 250? Seems like the thing to do is to compare
a 250 to a 4A... rather than looking at the TR 6! They fit that 6
cyclinder motor in there, didn't they?
I did buy a parts car, as I mentioned in a prior response, that had been
a mix of several cars... as far as I could tell... it had a TR 4A tub
and a TR 250 or 6 frame... and it had been set up with the 6 cyclinder
motor... though it wasn't in there when I bought the car... I did NOT
see any modifications done to the under bonnet areas of the 4A... so it
seems to me... it should fit...
The modifications are in the frame (mounting points), the cross-tube, it
was modified to be forward, and the mounting of the radiator forward...
Anyone??? help me here...
BUT I second... or third... or fourth... the motion: BUY the proper
motor instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
