Hi John,

I cannot speak to the TR6 as a platform for a V8.  I do have a TR3A with
a 302 in it.  I also owned an MGBGT at one time.  The TR3A handles very
well with the V8 in it and I haven't balanced the weight ratios yet so
it is still front heavy.  I expect that your observation about the
weight of the six cyl in the TR6 is very correct.  It may handle better
than the TR3.  If you are considering it you have to go drive it.  Feel
of the car is a uniquely personal thing and only you can make that
decision.
