Lies, Lies and more lies. They are cousins, but not the same engine. Of 
course, when I was new to Triumphs. I feel victim to the same rumor. I have 
seen this a few times in the short time that I have been reading this list. 
I wonder if there could be an FAQ here. An interesting side note here. I 
just read in a TR History book, that the engines and transmissions used in 
developing the TR2. Were the same ones that Standard was supplying to 
Jaguar.

I have been told that the Triumph Engine is the same engine that is used in
the Massey Ferguson  Tractor.

Darrell:

    I don't know how old you are or if you have ever had experience with a
Fordf Model A.  If you have, so much the better.  The Triumph engine is a
model of simplicity (so long as you have a shop manual).  Labor cost of
$2,200.00 is exhorbitant, to say the least.  I have two suggestions:  Look
around for an engine that is in good condition or 2. rebuild yours by
yourself.

     If you are mechanically inclined go for #2
