V8 comversion vs hi-po 2.5PI


Recommended Posts

Perhaps it behooves us to consider the value of the car in either case: I venture that the original motor ( however modifed ) will preserve the value far better than a substitute. Here in the 'States V8 TRs don't fetch anywhere near their counterparts with factory motors. Modifications, if tasteful and effective, don't seem to carry a penalty though their extra costs are rarely recoverable. ;)

Cam,

 

Exactly what I was going to ask as my first post!

I think getting 250BHP out of the six would make it pretty un-user friendly, but a nice 4.6 rover lump would make a cracking car!

Lots of US guys have put ford or chevys in, but a nice big capacity all ally rover lump would be hard to beat (IMHO) does anyone know of a TR6 owner who's done this?

Thanks
