[Tigers] Tiger project for sale

[Ron Fraser]

Thank you Norm - very interesting picture.

 

>From my Tiger Engine Study point of view I was thinking that the T-10
transmissions ended within the E7KL engine group.  This seemed logical to me
since the T15KL and E7KL engine groups account for about 60 engines.

 

The picture of B9470057 Vin plate looks like it has 1084 - G13KA engine #,
the next engine group.

 

To me this indicates that the Transmissions were sent to England separately
and attached there and to me this indicates the transmissions were installed
in a random fashion.   This would make for more compact shipping containers
for both the engines and transmissions; there would also be less possibility
of damaged parts.    I can only speculate here; I have yet to find any
details about the shipping containers that Ford and the Cleveland Foundry
used to ship parts to England.

Once again the "Carroll" account falls a bit wide of the facts.  It appears
B9470057 LRXFE is the last Tiger to have been factory fitted with a T-10.
To be fair, none of the Borg Warner equipped cars had gearbox details
chronicled in the ledgers, so until these machines get inspected first hand,
it's all smoke and mirrors.

Very interesting, Steve!!  According to the Bill Carroll book, B9470057 was
the first car off the production line with the Ford Toploader transmission,
with the previous cars having B-W T-10s.  What is most interesting to me
about this listing, however, is that my first Tiger, purchased back in
October of 1979 in the Oklahoma City area, was a sister car to this one,
B9470058.  I always wondered where the #57 car was, or if it was even still
around.  That question has now been answered.
 
Thanks,
