Hi Wayne,
I would opt for 1 or 2. The original engine provides a fairly powerful,
fairly well balanced car. For the money it will cost to engineer and build a
one-off super TR 3 you could buy a Cobra kit or a used Corvette. The joy in
driving a TR doesn't come from sheer power, enjoy the car for what it is. Of
course if you really need 200hp the V8 conversion is probably simplest, but
don't forget to upgrade the driveline, brakes, and frame as they weren't
originally designed for such loads.
Cheers,
