Okay. What I was wondering about is whether there are
any successful engine transplants in the TR6 bay? I'm
not talking about extreme conversions, like Mike's 454
big block. I asking about something more balanced,
more in keeping with the overall performance
characteristics of the care.

Some that would seem suitable to me are:

BMW 2.5 or 3.0 sohc in-line six - too tall for the
hood?

Chevy 2.8 or 3.1 ohv V6

Ford 2.5 dohc Duratc V8 - too wide?

Nissan 3.0 sohc V6
