Triumph tr7 with 351w

my dad bought a triumph tr7 convertible with a 351 windsor aluminum intake, dual line holley, a mild cam, and headers for $350. The only bad thing about it are there is no title or interior. But it should be a real quick car since it had about 300 hp and weighs maybe 1800 lbs

 

Congrats.... You can prob get a title for it

I know i could here in Arkansas

 

i hope you got the 351w motor with that

 

I couldn't believe we got it for so cheap either and it runs real good

 

Great Deal
if you cant get a title you could swap it over to one of your mav

 

this is basically just going to be a drag car when we change out the rearend. I may be getting a 1966 Fairlane too but if I get it I can't get the 70 and 71 mavericks. I think the fairlane is supposed to have a 390 in it I was told the onwer wanted $500 for it

 

If you can get a '66 Fairlane, with a 390, and it's not crumbling away with rust for $500, forget the Mavericks and buy the Fairlane.

 

I remember seeing the car about 4 or 5 years ago but it was just a body with a gutted interior(former drag car with a 460) but it did have a rearend with a 6 something gear. The owner wanted $400 for it so I passed. When me and dad was talking to the owner of the Tr7 he said a guy he worked with named mark owned a 66 fairlane and he put a motor in it. He thought it was a 390 but he didn't really know. My uncle also works at this place and he is going to ask mark about it.

 

I have always wanted a TR7
Congrats.

 

we definately goota put a roll cage in this before taking it to the track

 

Sounds like fun! Jamie's toy has competition.

 

What year is the TR7?

 

I was told 1980 but am not sure. it was hard for me to believe how much room is between the shocktowers. It probaly has 6 inches of clearence on each side of the motor so changing spark plugs should be easy

 

I need some. It seems word of my "red rocket" has spread fast around here. Gets kind of boring when cars I know would race if I were in the Mustang, just slow down and cruise when they seem my car. A guy in a Mach 1 did try to race over by Stone Mountain yesterday. Well, at least I can give him credit for trying.

It is amazing how nicely a V8 fits in some of these little cars, almost like they were planning it when they designed it. The 302 fits awesome in my Fiat. Way more room to work then a 302 Maverick, although the firewall and transmission tunnel required some creative fabrication. The acceleration in cars this light with a V8 is nothing short of awesome.

 

and this car has a C6 in it. I figured that it would be way to big
