Just dragged home an engine that came along with a transmission I was after 
for my TR3.
Engine # is CF68633E, and looks like a TR4 with the dual outlet exhaust 
manifold, and carb linkage being pulled from the centre.
However there are two things about it that seem odd to me; perhaps someone 
knows the answer:
1. The engine appears to be painted silver.
b) The timing chain cover has an "outward dimple" at the end of the cam, 
and might even have been chromed - but it could be silver paint.
2. The thermostat housing allows the coolant out at the top - in other 
words the coolant just goes straight up. The rubber hose then forms an 
elbow of quite large diameter - far larger than I am used to seeing on my TR3.
Could it be from a Morgan or something?
Thanks,
Jim
