Well Paul is right about the R&P conversion, and yes it is expensive! It's
one of those subjective things however and you can see from the posts that
it goes both ways:-)
I'm putting a Ford 302 V8 in my TR3 like Paul and Tom and did it as an
upgrade path to ensure that I would have easy steering despite any weight
changes, and also because it is already setup for use with UV joints unlike
the solid TR3 steering shaft which makes it easier to change the steering to
avoid the new engine. I drove it with the original car and loved it. I did
a wheel/tire/front sway bar conversion at the same time and the car handles
like it's on rails. Wheels are Panasport and the tires are Bridgestone 190's
I think. For you bigger guys the smaller wheel you can use might be
appreciated, but I know some good sized gents drive TR3's with no problems
using the original wheel - right guys :-)
