=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Reasons for not using a TR3 block in an earl=
y Morgan Flat Rad +4:
1. The car's VIN is the engine block number. If you change engines there is=
 no way to verify VINs.
2. While a TR3 block fits under the hood of the Morgan, the dual SU's will =
not, unless you cut the hood (bonnet) so the carbs stick out the side. They=
 sell a scoop panel to cover then, but I think that it looks like hell. My =
hood has never been cut (a rarity).
3. Early Morgans with matching engine numbers are becoming more rare and de=
sirable.
