They should have installed a 215 aluminum V8. That would be the
perfect TF hotrod. Back in 1967, I looked at a TF to buy; it had a
215 Buick installed with 2-2s, AH transmission and rear end. I think
it was $400. Needed some finishing. The owner claimed it would do
wheelstands. My father nixed the deal saying I would end up killing
myself in it, and he was probably right. So instead I ended up with
an MGA with its original 1600 engine.
