dan's got some photo's of a tr6 with a ford mustang SVO, 4cyl turbo, got me
thinking about using some tr-7 parts (tranny, oil pan) mated to a saab 900
or 9000 turbo motor (available up to 225 horses), all the modern FI stuff,
etc...in a tr-6, my guess is that fitting a tr7 tranny to a tr6 is no small
feat, but easier than thrying to fit a ford tranny, or whatever else.
I am not planning this anytime soon (or ever) but thought it might be fun to
gain some insight. I know the saab motor will prove much lighter, and
overall faster, than the stock motor.
and
I was out on long island today, around hicksville, (BJ's wholesale club),
stopped in at a service station with a red tr4a parcked outfront, some
sniffing found some pitted chrome, but overall a fairly decent car, has
anyone seen it????...had NY plates, "tr4" or something similar.

Subject: Will a BMW inline 6 fit in my TR6?
Hello all,
I know this seems a little blasphemous with current events over the last
year.....
Has anyone ever measured the inline 6 motors that come in 3 series
BMW's?
I am sure that they are not as cost effective as doing an american V8
conversion, but those motors sure are sweet....
If anyone here has not seen Dan Master's site on V8 conversions, it is
awesome. Take a look even if you wouldn't consider it for your car.
