Bill-

If you can discretely (pm or otherwise) let me know the going price of a a-type overdrive I'd appreciate it. My spare TR4 parts car/future project is just sitting in storage and I'd like to keep calibrated on how much the tranny is worth in it.

Thanks,
Randy

Hey Tom,
I inspected the cracked TR3 head today. It has a one inch deep crack between the metal between the exhaust and intake valve on #1 cylinder and two cracks between the bolt holes. The cleanup showed it to have been pinned once before. A true boat anchor as far as I am concerned. The block and crank are quite nice though. Gonna go pick up everything this afternoon. Whoever had this car ran it ragged till 1975 then parked it. What a shame.
