Parts
Since I always planned to have
the car for myself, I had collected tons of spares and performance parts during my
stay in the the USA.:
- Newly rebuilt
and uprated engine, by myself. See specs below , the bottom of the page.
- Streamlined late TR4/TR4A input manifold. Better intake flow than the TR3-TR4 manifold.
- TR3-TR4 input manifold
- straight pipe and fitting to replace the second muffler. More power and mightier sound.
- Newly rebuilt overdrive
gearbox. This gearbox is originally TR4, but I fitted it with a TR6
input shaft and a TR6 main shaft so that I could graft it
with a TR6 (J-type) overdrive that is easier to source, more compact and more reliable
than the TR3 (A-type) overdrive. Full synchro.
- Rear anti-roll bar (front anti-roll bar mounted on car)
- New limited slip differential. Diff only, not the axle.
Engine specifications:
- TR3B block. TCF stamping
- Freshly honed 87mm
cylinders
- Freshly ground vilbrequin,
dynamically balanced.
- Conrods checked and
balanced
- Balanced pistons with BFE
rings. 2200ccm
- Aluminum flywheel
- New TR6 diaphragph type
clutch (stronger and revs better), dynamicaly balanced
- New mild grind on the
camshaft (Americam, I have the cut type on record)
- New oil pump , new
secondary chain, new bearings all over (of course)
- Rebuilt fuel pump
- Rebuilt head with:

intake valves
