I can't say I like non-period modifications very much, especially so engine
swaps. If the weight was close I would think about swapping the A-series for
a Coventry Climax!
The TR7 & motor had a reputation for being gutless more than anything else.
Aside from a vee 8 swap (TR8) a swap to the 16 valve Dolomite Sprint engine
(easier than just swapping the head) is one way to set out towards 200bhp.
Or is this the wrong list for this discussion?

I've often thought about getting hold of a TR7 with a FUBAR engine and
swapping
in a rotary. For some strange reason, I like the looks of a TR7. I've never
heard anyone say anything good about the TR7 engine though. It even looks
delicate.
