Tom Fremont Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr6v83.9 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 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 Simon Simon, How about a nice rover 3.9 v8 ? Well its in progress, see www.letherby.com Let me know what you think, more pics to follow on the site.
