Members,
I knew that the seats were Tr-6, so it seems that this is particular GT6
has more in common than I first thought. So now that we know that the 2.0
Litre engine was replaced with a 2.5 Litre engine, my next few questions
will be about the Carbs and drivetrain.
Seeing as the engine is a 2.5, I would be pretty sure that the Carbs are
175CD's. The only identifying marks I found on the carbs however, were
"53225F 915, and 53225R 9" around the Cap edge (4 screws) and
"168T / 169T" around the filter mount. I would guess that "F" and "R"
denote the position they are supposed to be, in relation to the car.
I took a quick peek at the differential and gearbox, but did not see any
identifying marks. Where would I find these serial #'s?
Knowing that the GT6 engine was replaced with the Larger TR-6 engine, This
must have been one fast sucker in its day. It is disappointing to find out
that this car is not as original as I thought it was, but then again, It
was offered to me at a price I couldn't refuse. FREE!!!
Regards,
Steve Reilly
