I don't have a TR6 racecar, just a Lemons TR6 but I have interest in building
a real one someday. As the price goes down, my interest goes up. I've been
collecting parts.

Not trying to be funny here, but if the requested specs are all over the
place, it might be nice to know either a hint about the differences or a hint
about the advantages to whatever the differences are.
I for one would be willing to take a couple of trade-offs if it means ultimate
reliability.
Along those lines, I'm sure one spec difference is the long tail vs. the short
tail. Seeing that: 1. you can't get flywheels for long-tails and 2.
the FACTORY dumped long tail cranks back in the day - it would be reasonable
to say "short tail cranks only" (or long-tail only, whatever).
That might reign things in a bit.
I know that folks run different rod bearings too, but if we all agreed on that
particular mod, would that get us closer to a consensus.
Or maybe I'm missing something.
regards,
rml
