It was definitly a TR engine.  There is NO way to confuse that beast with
the V8, NO way.  The Ferrari V8 equpped Lancias were not all that rare,
at least one or two seemed to pop up in the even the smallest of towns.
The V8 looked like you had to pull the engine to change the distriburtor
caps....tight fit too.
