David :
I must have misunderstood the earlier post.
One of our local club members has a TR8 motor in his TR3A. It was a very
snug fit, requiring conversion to TR4 R&P steering (so the steering column
could have swivels to go around the engine), and substantial sheet metal
modifications under the hood. Don't recall off-hand what tranny he used.
At one time, I was considering putting in a Chevy 3.1 60 degree V6, as it
would require almost no sheet metal mods (and weighs less than the original
4 banger). However, it would still require the R&P steering, and I
couldn't figure a way to keep the stock turn signals, so I abandoned the
idea.
Then of course, there's another club member with a 5.0 Mustang motor in his
TR-4 (dubbed the TR-Ford) ...
