>The Rover 2600 OHC crossflow motor installed in the SD1 saloon is very
similar in size to the 2000/2500 motor, in fact 2500 saloons were converted
to run these motors when they were in development. Standard output is in
the
region of 150 bhp, so I would expect that some quite reasonable output
would
be available with little effort. Apparently, some of the parts (eg. the
crankshaft) are very similar and I understand that much of the SD1 was
designed by Triumph anyway.

Question: Would not the over head cam make the engine taller? And would a
taller engine fit under the bonnet of a TR6? (OK, that's two questions.)
