FWIW, I saw a toyata powered TR7 in the Moss Landing, CA Pick'n Pull
Took me a second to realize it wasn't stock. Not sure which motor
it was. It seemed to fit under the hood without being leaned over,
so it might have been one of the pushrod motors.

There's also another TR7 and a couple of midgets in that yard. One
of the midgets had a Koni tube shock conversion in the rear, as well
as some interesting sway bars. I took the Koni's (which seem like
the same ones used for the rear of a spit), since $5 a piece  
seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. I'll soon be throwing
my Monroe shocks in the trash ;-)
I also took the roll bar (it wasn't even bolted down). It turns
out that a midget roll bar does NOT fit in a spit. Oh well.
If anyone in Northern CA needs a midget roll bar, you can have it for
the $30 the yard charged me.
