John,
IMHO a good running TR4 has the same or more power than most TR6's
especially in the torque dept. I've owned several TR3's, TR4's and sixes
and my favorite still is a live axle TR4. TR4 not 4A because of the
removable soft top/hood sticks(not the convertible top frame) which
gives much more room behind the seats. TR4 because of the roll-up
windows and steering rack(over the TR3) and simple frame and
mechanics(engine) and less polution stuff than TR6.
