I suspect this is similar. While it looks cool. I would pass for $5000. Sorry to rain on the collective parade.

PS - At least it has brakes!

The TR6 has a separate steel chassis..it's not a monocoque. the frames were essentially the same from the TR2-TR6. (4A, 250 and 6 were IRS). Lots of guys do 302 conversions with these cars. whether or not you want that much hp in small car with iffy brakes is the main problem. structural rigidity is not.
