With regard to the TR6's IRS, the weakness is not the IRS itself, but the
diff mounting brackets.
If I remember correctly, The Triumph racing dept. ran the stock IRS 
differential in their race cars with up to 200 HP or so. With a mild 302, it 
should 
still be usable, particularly if it isn't drag raced. Much beyond that, though, 
It'd be a bit leery.

As Jack says, the stock mounting brackets can be, and often are, ripped out 
with the 105HP of the stock engine.
