TR2/3/3A Other engines into a TR3

[tdskip]

Not seriously thinking about it - but anyone seen an interesting non-Triumph engines in a TR3?

 

[Brosky]

Yeah, if I could find the pics of the 289 Cobra looking TR3 with the flared fenders, you would be drooling. Beautiful workmanship and paint job. All black....and very fast.

Paul, is this the one you're thinking of? Beautiful job, but I'm not a fan of the interior color or the auto trans.

 

[tdskip]

Wow - looks like a Cobra (surprise surprise)

 

[TR6oldtimer]

I don't like automatic transmissions....

 

[TR3driver]

Sorry I don't have a shot of the engine, but here's a local car with a Rover 3.5 in it. Very nicely done.

 

[Brosky]

Yeah, that's it. I forgot it was an automatic.

Thtra is a mean looking TR3 Randall... I bet it really moves.

Randall,
The windscreen appears to be cut down, what else did he modify?

 

[trfourtune]

I've often thought that if i did an engine swap in a tr4a, i would go with the nissan 240 sx, engine, tranny, diff, etc. The last scca run offs was won by a local 240 sx in gt1 i think. 2.4 liter. grunt like a TR with the right sound.
Built by Specialty engineering.
Should even fit in a TR3.

[trfourtune]

Have they been on the tube yet?

 

[CurtisJ]

This swap isn't quite completed yet... but you can see the progress to date here: Randy's TR3 Plus 4 Project

NIOCE' :lol:

 

[trfourtune]

That IS super sweet!!! now, some tmw throttle bodies and fuel injection would realy make the grade! I like it a lot!

 

[Brooklands]

Excellent Curtis...Very Impressive!

 

[trfourtune]

oops, that is the fuel injection. Still looks super sweet. Amazing project. Fantastic work. I hope there will be a 10 page spread in Triumph World when it is done. That is a Huge amount of work and design. My hat is off to you. I would love to see more pictures. Can i find more in photobucket?
