I have been researching what can be done to warm up my stock TR6 engined
1972 TVR, which as folks know is only 106 hp stock. I have triple webers on
it, a header, and I am acquiring pieces and info to go the rest of the way.
The more research I do, the more I realise how difficult and expensive it
will be to get a realiable 175 hp out of it, and I am wondering if I will be
happy with that amount of hp. Perhaps I should go the Rover aluminum V8
route, or maybe a late Ford 5.0 litre mustang setup. I figure if I dump
$3000 into the TR6 engine and am not happy with the results, I will be
pissed off. I am also starting to realise that the car would be worth more
for resale with a V8 than with with a hot TR6 engine. Comments??
