Hi guys. Since buying my TR6, it's become apparent that the performance of my Triumph 2000 is obviously nothing like as potent! With this in mind, I'm considering getting hold of a bigger engine to go in the saloon instead, hopefully to narrow the gap a bit. So does anybody out there have a 2500TC/S or even carbed TR6 engine going spare/or know of anybody who might?
Also, does anybody have an opinion on the merits of dropping in a 2500 over modding the basic 2000 engine? I have a lightened flywheel and sports exhaust system on the car, with an extractor manifold ready to go on. Would fitting a long branch inlet manifold and replacing the Strombergs with a pair of HS6 SU's, allied to maybe a TR5 cam, make that much of a difference? Or is the larger engine idea better? Sorry for all the questions, but thoughts will be appreciated from all. Thanks, Matt ;D
