Hello BFC Members!

Dwayne here, i am new to the BFC. I am acquiring a 62 TR3 race car that needs an engine. I am on the hunt for a running TR3 B or TR4 engine to drop in to get acclimated to the car before doing a full engine rebuild. I am located in Connecticut so if there is a member in the North East with a good engine for sale please let me know. Also anyone willing to arrange shipping from other areas of the US please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help!

welcome! I can't help with your search except to say that local clubs might be able to help.

good luck!
 
a bit of googling around suggests there might be some suppliers you could call for leads.

I am also not a purist so might consider a swap - Miata?

Thanks for the leads JP!
I will need a triumph engine as I will be racing in Vintage class so no swaps allowed.
 
Abingdon Spares moved to Maine awhile back, the British Miles is out west in Pennsylvania. Maybe better than AI googling, why not contact one of the Connecticut Triumph groups:
