Wayne,

Others may disagree, but I do not think it's possible to get a reliable
200HP out of the TR 4-pot motor.  Unless you mean reliable as in "I can rely
on it to blow up".  If I were you, I would do the TR engine with Weber's or
supercharger.  Putting a V-8 in it would destroy a great deal of the TRs
"charm"  Keep in mind that this advice is coming from a guy who's father
races an XKE Jag with a Chevy V-8......
