Dec 26, 2008 · He wants 200-250 HP. Pretty much any V8 is ruled out for packaging and weight distribution reasons, so we have on the short list: 13BT rotary, 2.2 or 2.5 or 2.4 Mopar turbo motor converted to RWD, Ford Zetec, etc. Long shot is 3.0/3.3 Nissan but that one is sorta big, one of the criteria is that everything fitsunder the nose. No scoops etc.

Dec 27, 2008 · Jensenman wrote: A Spitfire or GT6 engine compartment is cramped in the lengthwise direction already and to fix the goofy stock Triumph Ackerman angles we will need to do a good bit of steering mods, meaning the steering rack has to come back and be shortened. BTDT with the Abomination.

Dec 16, 2014 · Putting a Jag six into a GT6 is just right. I would expect there's at least one running around England somewhere. I like the idea of the swap because it's something that would have been done when the GT6 was new. And there really is something about a straight six. It's not a restorod, it would be more period-appropriate and cool because of it.

Sep 16, 2012 · The V8 Spit was set up for drag racing, so it has a custom (beefy) ladder chassis that incorporates some of the original Spitfire attachment points. An '85 Mustang GT was the donor for the project, and the 7.5 Traction Lock differential was narrowed and used.

Feb 7, 2021 · Of course a GT6 engine is probably around 400-450lbs so it's a wash. So under the kooky conversion I like the idea of a 3 cylinder Ecoboost, here's why; 150-200lbs lighter than the GT6 drive train. 25-80hp more than the standard GT6 engine depending on which displacement engine used. Unique exhaust note of 3 cylinder engine.

Oct 17, 2023 · I have (2) GT6's available with a 40+ year collection of Triumph parts. One is a 1973, this is a complete car however the engine is bad. Included will be a good engine. The second car is a 1972 and requires a little more attention. This car was intended to be a racer so it needs completion. It has a Detroit locker with 4.11 gears.

May 27, 2010 · That said, I've fixed a lot of my GT6's stock handling ills with a combination of sway bars, stiffer springs, lowering block in the rear, and lower offset wheels in the back (staggered from front). Now the car takes corners with the rear end feeling much more secure than it used to, even under heavy braking.

Aug 3, 2021 · Building this car's "sister" now. 1970 GT6 with a Rover V8, 5 speed and the R160 Nissan rear end that works so well in GT6's and Spitfires. This one will be Aston Martin Caribbean Blue Metallic and should really be a stunning car as the bodywork is being done on a rotisserie. Pictures as soon as it is in epoxy primer.

Nov 29, 2023 · This will be similar to David Link's V8 GT6 except the body, chassis and paint are all first class. Similar blueprint to the TR4A, so electric power steering and Vintage Air HVAC. I'll create a new build page soon.
