I know Dan Masters is using the '4A live axle for his V8 conversion, so it
works.

Yeah, but what really got a bee in my bonnet was finding a website advertising
complete Jag 6-cyls for $400 dollars. Considering the connection that exists
between Jag and Triumph, there's a certain appeal - though it would be quite an
undertaking to shoehorn one in.
Oh well, I'll settle for getting my '4A finished in it's current configuration,
leave the dreaming for later ;)
