Turbo II engine swap into TR7

Hey guys, new member here.

Just wanted to say hey and let ya know a bit of what I am doing. I don't have any questions yet but I'm sure I will have a ton of them soon.

I am building a 79 Triumph TR7 convertible. I have just bought a 87 Turbo II and will be using the engine, trans, harness, ecu etc. in the TR7. All the suspension is converted too. I used the rear IRS from an 87 Jaguar XJS shortened 4 inches and built a custom subframe to mount it to the framrails of the TR. Front suspension will be a mixture of 280Z struts, 85 300ZX hubs & rotors and 88 Toyota 4Runner 4 piston calipers.

The RX7 motor is in great shape so I will be running it stock for a while but I will buy a second block to build up for the goal of about 400HP later.
