Triumph TR6 - V8 blue by Andreas Busch
Inside is a Rover stroked to five litres.
Equiped with a Megasquirt 2 it is quite reliable and fuel saving.
Exhaust is custom to clear the engine compartment.
Gearbox is the R380 from Rover.
Steel Flywheel and clutch is McLeod.
LSD is Quaife.
Shocks are custom made Bilstein.
Front brakes are vented from Ford Sierra Cosworth.
Wheels are the MWS 7x16 from Morgan and need a little bit of wheelarch extension to fit.
Swap was done in the 80s and started with the parts from old Rover SD1 with 3,5 litres.
As engine and gearbox is much lighter than original and suspension is modified it performs quite well and is reliable now for nearly 40 years.
Tyres 215/55x16" - 7x16 wire wheels from Dayton and 205/60 seem to fit on Stock tr6.
