The TR6 had a 2.5 liter straight 6 engine. Very low compression (7.75/1 tops) and very mild cam made for a very reliable grocery getter. It should have some great low end torque, but keep in mind that this is a cruiser car, and it is geared somewhat steeper than the revving alpine.
With a nice cam, some real compression, tripple webers and a little luck, you could make a reliable 150BHP engine with 160 lb ft of torque.
It is however a tractor engine at heart, and costs a fortune to make survive
beyond 6000 RPM, so more power will come at tremendous cost.
Id say that the TR6 would make a nice car overall, but TR6 parts particularly engine parts cost somewhat more than the sunbeam parts you have available now.
