That MC setup should be adjustable for balance, you have more front weight now,,,that is the GT6 motor, not a TR 6 isn't it?

That should be a lot of fun,,,,Smile

It could be two diff sized M/cyl . I did ask him to make sure he had the right sized rear wheel cyl, said yes. Its all been looked at by an engineer. The motor is just a simple 2500 . from a saloon ? I have yet to get right into the ins and outs of the pommie car world! Wow

I forgot to say I picked it up last night and it really is a joy to drive its so much fun, not a real powerhouse but zips along nicely with the close ratio 4 speed and 6 in it.

Very nice! I've wanted to put a six in Kathy's Herald but the thought of late is a V8-60. Of course she's plenty happy with her "hot rod" 60 hp Spit engine. Wink

Just want to add, all the jokes about parts falling off are untrue. Kathy is NOT mechanically inclined and she'll drive her's anywhere. Just keep the oil topped off, when it stops leaking it's out.

If you want a little more power you might want one of these. Wink

Geez that looks like a mini Eaton ?? I have a SC14 off a Toyota under the bench, was thinking about putting that on the flathead in the pickup.

Had a great weekend driving it around, great with the 6 in it, but could do with further tune I feel.
Finally got the wife in a took off for a cruise to the beach. Hit the roundabout and lucky I had to stop [for a change] I took off and my door sprung open..Mm the finest English engineering??! I casually lent out grabbed it and closed it while cornering ..The misses had a horrified look on her face..

I just had another look at the pic with the blower.. How on gods green earth is that setup going to breathe through that tiny air filter . Imagine when it comes on boost ?? I take it that that would be a 2" SU Im running 2 x 1 3/4 as it is.

Yes 2" HD8 off a Jag. The airfilter is plenty big enough and the engine dynos at 140 hp at the wheels (stock was 75) all tha has been changed is the cam, all stock internals otherwise. Eaton M62.

Tell me about the door problem, I don't know who cam up with that latch mech. but he should be shot.
