2 LItre STRAIGHT SIX (WANTED)
Hi guys , i am after a good running 2 litre straight six, also a gearbox would be a plus.
So if any of you could help , i dont even mind its in a donor car, or on its own. Many thanks for any help:thumb: |
Have you tried Mark at Southern Triumph Services in Southbourne? He usually has a number of six cylinder engines around.
|
Thanks i have indeed, nice and friendly and very helpfull too.
I am waiting on costs , and i am sure mark will come up with the goods. Just interested whats around and costs . cheers |
I have been involved with Triumphs in the Dorset area for many years. If there are any elusive bits you're looking for feel free to give me a shout. I know the whereabouts of a number of potential donors too.
|
Thanks for you help.
Is this when you tell me your names Mark ?:icon_redface: :mod: |
Nope, I'm Jim! A member of the local Triumph Mafia! I've been involved with small-chassis models for years and have friends into them too - we know where they're all lurking! Sorry to thread hijack: did you see the 13/60 DHC advertised on Bournemouth Gumtree this week? Could be a good base.

Ha Ha Jim welcome by the way mate. You sound like a handy man to know .
I didnt see the ad , i will look today.. many thanks and if i can help you just ask. |
There's this one on ebay -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-GT...item3a82eb31b6 It's a fair way away from you in Kidderminster, but it does come with a free wheelbarrow... |
Cheers mate, i will have a look, and just think of the possiblities, you did mention wheel barrow. Well without that , it would be a deal breaker .
Just think a new bonnet Ha ha ha ha ha. :icon_rolleyes: |

I thought you might just be able to wheel the engine down the M5 in the 'barrow. After all, it's only 170 miles... |
I know it's not a straight six, but this looks like it could be right up your street Mike -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1211467821...84.m1423.l2649 The 3.9 V8 with Type 9 gearbox has to be worth the money alone, while the body panels would fetch most (all?) of it back on ebay. |
Also not a straight 6 but quite a potential donor

Quite funny that the Herald on ebay has
"been modified at the rear to fit a volvo or simular rear axel for extra torque that will be produced." And then he goes and fits a type9! |
