    I know, that just sounds loopy, but that was a solution, right out of the box, with the TR-7. It almost seemed made for it, an easy swap--I think the trade press were touting the switch from day one, it was almost as though the Triumph folks planned on it. (Just my memory, Professor, please correct me if it is hazy...)

    PS, I once hit...um, a very high speed with a TR-6. A V-8 Tr-7: Hubba-hubba-hubba!

    We posted at the same time. This is a good place to go, for British car questions!

    To get back to the thread, perhaps keeping a motor under the bonnet causes some confusion with electrical gizmos...

    The Buick engine is a 3.8 liter V6. Physically it's small so it should just about drop in. The output would be astounding. The first little Tuner Kiddie with a Honda Civic that tries him is going to get a rude surprise.
    "The 1911 was the design, given by God to us through John M. Browning, that represents the epitome of what a killing tool needs to be. It was true in 1911 and it's true now." - Col. Robert Coates commanding, U.S. Marine Corp Special Operations Command Detachment 1 (DET 1)

    How far can she jump in the air, Professor, when you start her in first?

    All this makes me wonder why crescent shaped magazinbes are called "banana clips." Can you peel them and eat them after firing the last round?
