Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I have considered putting a SBC in the TR6. Not an uncommon conversion and the I6 isn't all that much lighter - the 6 weighs about 525 and the SBC about 600. Plenty of space in the engine bay the biggest problem is front pulley but that's a problem on the stock engine as well.

That would be an awesome car. The basic styling is classic and impeccable and it would preform like a hotrod. Excellent taste Jabbo.
