Grass Doctor,
I know that everyone has their own idea of how to enjoy their car.
I'm glad to see that you enjoy yours so much.
I'm not second guessing your decisions for you, just wanted to understand what went into your thought process to do a stock rebuild.
I'm not suggesting that you use a Stage Motor or build up a TA Block.
I'm just thinking that if I was putting in the effort to do a rebuild I'd probably like to make reasonable upgrades where possible, since you are putting in the work effort anyway.
I know that you like to cruise and show, nothing wrong with that.
The stock TR's have plenty of power for that, and I believe that they are good looking cars!
I hope that your original engine lasts a good long time, and you won't even need your spare !!
