I've seen a lot of posts saying that Triumphs don't have that much
collector value, so why not swap, etc. I maintain that a Triumph is not
a triumph unless it has a Triumph engine.
How a car looks is just one of its aspects. Just as important are how it
sounds, feels, and smells (OK, I'll leave out *tastes*). If I get into a
GT6 and it doesn't have that smell, and that sound of the little 6, then
it's not really a GT6.
Replacing the guts of the car is just as bad as dropping a fiberglass kit
body on a GT6 frame, pitching the original sheet metal. Does anybody
call a Bradley GT a Volkswagen?
But, hey, it's your car! All I can do is say how I feel. I promise not to
hire a hit man.
I promise not to write any more about this.
Can anyone recommend any good books on engine rebuilding?
Thanks,
Larry
