If all you want is an injected TR performance, I=E2=80=99d do this. Buy =
a us spec car.

TR5 camshaft, still available in U.K. and a bit better too than the =
original. Shave the head to at least 9.5:1, fit flat top pistons, a =
Lucas D25 or 26 dizzy, the equivalent of the SAH 6-3-1 extractor exhaust =

the donor car is a late model 6, email Chris Witor in the U.K. for a =
215019 head. These didn=E2=80=99t go to the US but we=E2=80=99re the =
best heads of the lot. Chris will confirm this and he=E2=80=99s a =
Triumph performance specialist. Goes without saying you=E2=80=99ll need =
anoverdrive. J type is ok but A type better imho. You=E2=80=99ll then =

These things are what we do in the U.K. to all 250s and carbed 6s that =
