I'll weigh in on modifications. I too have driven Paul's TR3A with the Ford
V-8. An extremely comfortable ride and a pleasure to drive.
I personally have a similar V-8 conversion in my TR3A. The differences are my
motor is hot to the touch before you start it. I have a stick shift instead
of an automatic. I, also, used the Ford rear end. I have made about every
other improvement to the car you can name, including the Revington rack and
pinion, except front brakes. The car is a wonderful ride. No problems
getting out of traffic, it doesn't overheat, it corners like a go kart, I
consider the TR3A seats more comfortable than my T-Birds seats, and it
attracts women like flies to honey.
Best regards,
Tom
