With all the speed of a Glacier, I finally have some measurable progress on the TR7 4.0 Liter V8 Street/Race project. Starting with a bare freshly painted engine bay, I added the reconditioned stock TR8 cross member with mew urethane bushings.

 

 

 

Then I added a new TR7 non-power rack because I didn’t want to use up any available horsepower spinning a power steering pump.

 

Next I reconditioned the stock suspension pieces, added all new ball joints, tie rod ends, and urethane bushings. The stock strut inserts were replaced by new KYB gas units and the springs are aftermarket auto cross units.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since the photo was taken, I have currently installed all of the suspension pieces shown in the photo and now I will add the sway bar, hubs and brake calipers. I’m way behind my own self imposed schedule but the progress is measurable.
