Tiger look alike?

[atallamcs]

I use to own one of these but powered by the Triumph engine. This one has taken the next step and gone the tiger route with a 289--must admit, it is a fairly nice conversion.

Nice restortaion, and a nice conversion. There are some interesting upgrades for TR6's, I am a big fan of the ones i have seen with a 2.7 litre throttle body electronic injection setup with coil pack ignition based on the originlal triumph motor.

Alternatively, if you are going to covert it, why not stay straight 6 just for the "oringal" feel.. i'm thinking bmw 6 or even better.. the R3X ( as in 31, 32,33...) series Nissan GTR motors?

What a beautifully restored Triumph. Very nice shade of red and high attention to detail. Definately alot of love (and money) gone into the restoration. Great buy for someone.

Yes its very nice.
There are a couple of Triumph V8 conversions around town.One thing is the engine bay has more room than a Tiger or Alpine V8 conversion.
