- Others may disagree, but I do not think it's possible to get a reliable 200HP out of the TR 4-pot motor. Unless you mean reliable as in "I can rely on it to blow up". If I were you, I would do the T

- Thanks Hugh! You are correct about the charm - no doubt about it. It's a paradox the likes of Shelby could not resist - a tiny little car and a ridiculously large motor. I'm no Shelby for sure but it

- Hi Wayne, I agree with the general concensus that getting a "reliable" 200 hp from the TR motor is unrealistic. Every mod you do to the engine will increase it's likelyhood to fail. I have built many

- Along with everything everyone else has said, there's are the issues of driveability and cost, with regard to building a heavy-horsepower TR engine. If you take a look at the Competition Guide, it sh

- Hi Wayne, I would opt for 1 or 2. The original engine provides a fairly powerful, fairly well balanced car. For the money it will cost to engineer and build a one-off super TR 3 you could buy a Cobr
