Seems this is the place to be for hot-rod british cars. Also on some other forums but few get into details of older Brit cars and how to improve them without essentially dropping the body on a new chassis. I'm modifying a Triumph GT-6+ with a Buick V6 engine, T5, and custom IRS. Currently looking at Merkur rear suspension components and custom "A" arms. Big project, should be fun. Also restoring a Marcos 1600 GT wood chassis car. Returning it to near original, last engine was a Mazzzzda rotary, and a horrid fit. Finally located a 711M 1600 cross-flow for it. My only major mod is fitting an ex-Merkur T9 trans. Have a few others, '68 El Camino hot rod getting Jag IRS, four speed, HOT engine. 1969 Land-Rover 88" with quaif diff's at both ends, Fairey OD, roll bar, etc. Have taken it all over and back. Been playing with British cars since I was 12, first car I ever bought was a Jag XK-140 MC drop-head. Lost it to flood damage before the restoration was complete, many years ago. Have had about every sort of Triumph, several Jags, Alfa, Morris, MG, Thames, really too many to list. Have done several kit cars, from old 50's "You build it" body shells to Noble P4's. Currently have the molds to the Tatum Crusader, plan to build one with a big bike engine. Have a fairly well equipped machine shop, may make more than one of certain items I need. Main project of the moment is the TR GT-6+. TRIumph + buICK = "Trick-6". Major issues are front and rear suspension redesign.
