I have a 1960 BT7, I am putting a Tri-Carb set up off of a mkII on the BT7, does anyone know of any problems that I am going to have. I want to put some ram pipes on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Historically speaking, the problems you are going to have are Tuning the carbs!---Fwiw--Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Only problem I see is that you will have a Mark II without the proper carbs. Adjusting them is not too difficult, just follow the manual. If you get stuck check with Bill Bolton or Udo Petske, both tricarb diehards
 
Tuning three carbs isn't any harder than tuning two. Most important thing is that the carbs are in good useable condition (same size jets/needles are always desireable, but not always found in used carbs).

Loose throttle shafts and all bets are off
 
Hello Willy,

"I want to put some ram pipes on it."
Correctly designed ram pipes do give a slight power advantage but for the sake of engine life it is worth going that bit further in enclosing them in a ducting and feeding the ducting through an air cleaner. (This is done on the Aston Martin DB5 and the fuel injected Triumph 2.5 engine. Having said that in both cases neither have ram pipes of a particularly good design)
