OK, smooth move #9999.
I decided I needed a TR6 so I bought two 'TR6 project cars (running). 
I've noticed the '74 has good power at low rpms, easily taking off from
a start or cruising at 40mph in 4th gear.  The '74-1/2 needs to rev
considerably more around 3000 to 4000 rpm to barely begin moving from a
stop and the engine lags in 4th at 40mph.  Both engines sound similar
standing still except the '74-1/2 has louder exhaust and also has a much
stiffer clutch (both cars supposedly have replaced clutches and are high
mileage).  Any suggestions regarding areas to check first???
Thanks,
Joe in LA
