greetings all. to preface this, i have spent most of my life in British cars - repairing, restoring, racing - to earn my living w/ side trips working for the San Diego Communications Dept as well as at DEI designing car audio (spent a few years at La Jolla Audio prior) as well as building choppers and working for TORO as their field tech - fun job, i was on a golf course every day, just not playing golf 
my daily driver a '72 Jensen Interceptor MkIII and stashed away on the property are 2 Jags, 2 MG's, 1 TR6, 1 BMW 630 Cs, 3 older Volvo's, 2 Toyota's - a 1st gen 4Runner and a 22RE p/u, plus other assorted cars.
i recently acquired a 1971 TVR Vixen 2500 #1982T. it has been updated (some would say bastardized) by the installation of a Chevy 327 and WC T5 5spd trans. I have yet to dig into it as the Jensen is getting a new rad, + oil/trans cooler, water pump etc so it comes first. It is looking like the 327 is possibly an L79 (350hp) but more on that l8r - my TR6 is a 1971 model so a swap would be EZ. so far, i find the cooling system badly designed so i will be fixing that promptly (i would like to drive it a small amount b4 deciding whether to pull the 327 and swap in the TR6) but I have a couple of questions:
1: this has heim jointed upper inner a-arms as well as heim jointed ends on the steering rack. i am told "not stock". they don't appear to be kludged (correct spacers on the a-arms and no extensions or oddities on the track rod ends) so i wonder were these perhaps a purchase as a "race" part maybe offered by an aftermarket supplier?
2: the brake master is a Nissan branded item (not correctly TR6) and would appear it was installed at the same time the car had its body off "restoration" as there are 3 brake lines connecting to it - 1 rear and each front having its own hard line. it appears the booster is a stock TR6 piece, however there is a ~1/2" piece of plywood between the body and the booster. is that normal? lots of brake fluid wrinkled paint on the booster and fluid below the booster on the body - so that will need resolution chopchop.
once i get it up in the air, i will report back on what i find, but i expect to find stock TR6 diff and axles
Hola Rocky! is it as windy over there as it is here?? i did see your posts on all the rear end stuff you recently machined - very nice work!
best to all,
