Evening Folks!!!! New member here, from Tampa Bay, FL. Proud owner of an '86 TVR 280i Series 2 and an '85 280i Series 1. Getting ready to do some conversions (which is actually how I stumbled across this site) and thought if anyone was interested, I would share the details. First off, I'm sticking with the original 2.8 V6. I know the 2.9/4.0/4.0 SOHC are direct swaps, but I don't feel like messing with too much for right now, so here's what I've come up with.
Swapping cylinder heads for better flow. Getting rid of mechanical F.I.
Swapping in a T5 tranny from a 2005 Mustang 4.0 V6.
As of right now, I've got a ton of info on the cylinder head issue. As for the tranny swap, I only have what I've found on this site, along with a few extra tips I've come across while searching around and also physically going to the yards and pulling parts.
Also, if anyone is local to this area, drop me a line. Would love to talk TVR with someone who actually knows what they are!!!
