Ok, I admit it, I've become wishy washy. I can't decide which of the two engines I have to rebuild to replace the ailing one in 1970 TR 6. Given that matching numbers aren't that important to me I am

The later block has two advantages: 1) recesses around the top of the cylinder bore improves head gasket sealing (less likely to blow a head gasket) 2) there is a reinforcement cast into the side of

I would add that the later head is of a superior design, as is the intake manifold that fits the later head. If the later head is milled to raise the compression, the head and manifold will deliver

I agree with all your comments. I would add this remark: While the late model cam is wimpy, it is stouter than the early TR6 cam. The early cam was 240 degrees, the later cam is 256 degrees (The GT6
