[Shotimes] Triumph TR7 with SHO engine

[Ron Nottingham]

No, the V6 isn't too tall, and should fit nicely.  The Triumph slant 4 in
the TR7 was rather tall, and longer than the SHO V6, so there shouldn't be
any problems in the fitment.

You are correct Paul, in that the TR7 4 was essentialy half of a V8 (the
3.0L V8 found in the Triumph Stag).

I should have also mentioned, that I am a previous TR7 owner, and know all
about their shortcomings, which years to look for, size, fitments,
electrical maladies (the TR7 was the first car I ever rebuilt the wiring
harness in), so I'm not going in this blind :-)

BTW, anyone know where the TR7 water pump is located?  Answer: on top of the
block :-)

Thanks!
