If you convert to a Ford small block you actually lighten the front of the
carr by 50# of engine weight.  Also, the best placement of the Ford engine
mounts gives you a 10 - 20 percent set back of the engine weight transferring
more weight to the rear of the car.  Both of these weight changes are
beneficial to handling since the stock TR is significantly front heavy.

Best regards,
Tom
