Hi all. I have a nifty 1975 1500 that I've gone way overboard modifying, and of course, it never ends....
Here's what I've done so far:
APTFast stageII radical cams;
+020 pistons;
Pacesetter/Monza header and exhaust;
Crane electronic ignition:
PRI quad-carb Keihnins;
Koni's and Minilites.
This car shifts at 6000 like it's nothing. I suppose I ought to put roller rockers in...
Anyway, it turned out so much more torque that I put in a taller diff from a GT6 which is nice on the highway, but I lost the initial acceleration, which leads me to the following:
I am looking for an OD transmission, and I'll switch back to the shorter differential gearing. Make sense? I'm open to a non-Triumph tranny it that works..
Also, I want to reduce weight, so I want to lose the bumpers and am having a dickens of a time finding a decent air dam for the front.
Any suggestions are really appreciated...
