Hi Isben,
Yes, I replaced the TR components with 1965 Ford Mustang parts, Radiator thru
rear end.
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
You mentioned that one of the improvements
you made to your TR3 was the changing the stock drive line to a ford 289. Does
that mean engine, trans, and rear end to ford or strictly just the drive line?
I am in the process of having my driveline
check out and the preliminary indications is the splines on the drive shaft
are
worn, so balancing cannot be accomplished. The u-joints have been replaced,
but
their is still vibration coming from the drive shaft.
They have indicated they can replace the
splines with "Spicer" components, and then the balancing can be accomplished.
What does the list think, should I look for
another drive shaft or repair the one I have?
Will balancing really make that
much difference and justify the cost of the spicer components?
Regards,
Ibsen

I think the single best
improvement I have made to my TR3A is the installation
of the Revington
rack and pinion steering.
The second most important improvement was
changing to the TR4 upper a-arms,
ball joints, and trunions adding positive
caster to my steering. Followed by
adjusting the ride height to
create some rake toward the front of the car.
The third best
improvement was converting the car to a Ford 289 drive line.
It now
steers like a Cadillac and runs like a bat out of hell.
Best
regards,
Tom
