Deleted User Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 youll probably find there isnt that many people who can help as its only really people whov done it will know, and i dont know of anyone whos put one in a TR7, there is however a guy who stuck one in a TR6, races aswell i believe, may be worth tryin to contatct him and see what exactly he did, cant remember his name though unfortunately.

stricky Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 thanks for the replies guys.....however it turns out that after a few 'suspect' emails the guy selling the engine is an ebay scammer !so back to the drawing board on the engine front then ....

Rumpith Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Shame. There was a guy who came to a Pendle & Pennine CT meeting a year or two ago with a lovely TR7 fitted with a big TVR V8 (4.7L?) - metallic blue, greay leather interior. Stunning car!
