1. Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 19:37:19 -0400; Dan Masters did it with a Ford V8. I wonder if it is feasable to put a Nissan Maxima V6 in a TR 6. My mind is always dreaming of exiciting ways to frustrate myself. I guess it would fit in the passen; /html/triumphs/1999-08/msg01912.html (6,368 bytes)

4. Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 10:55:11 -0500; Hi folks, I have a question about engine conversions: why do people do it? I am curious as to why folks make changes to something as fundamental to a car's character as its engine. I am not a person; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg01172.html (8,641 bytes)
5. RE: Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 11:02:51 -0500; So what if I already have a highly modified TR-6 and want more power? strange to me. Yeah, kind of like putting a Ford small block V-8 in a Sunbeam Alpine, or an AC Ace. Or maybe even a Buick V-8 in; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg01175.html (7,912 bytes)
6. Re: Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 09:26:10 -0700 (PDT); You're probably going to get a big rant from DANMAS on this subject.

7. RE: Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 09:34:13 -0700; First, I will maintain that I did not do an engine conversion - it was a body swap.

8. Re: Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 09:28:20 -0700; You will probably get a lot of discussion on this one :-)! If they had built a Spitfire with a V6 I'd have bought one. A Mustang II is not the same car (same engine). I wanted a Spitfire with a lot m; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg01184.html (9,609 bytes)
9. RE: Engine conversions (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Oct 1998 09:42:35 -0700; Good point, Tom. I praise well-kept original cars with original motors. I think it's a neat idea to make engine conversions among similar breeds (putting a Triumph six in a spit). As Tom pointed out,; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg01185.html (9,375 bytes)
