Hi List,
Just finished reading through my weekend collection of digests, and in
amongst them was somebody musing as to whether a Stag V8 would go into a TR.
I remember seeing a TR5 with a Stag V8 in an issue of Triumph World a while
back. Unfortunately can't remember whether the owner commented on how easy
the swap was. But it has been done. If anyone wants to know, I can dig back
through my collection and check for you. Maybe I should have got Dad to slot
his spare Stag engine in the TR6 while he was restoring it...
On a side note, the ongoing concern with Stag engines has more to do with
poor engine rebuilders than the engine itself (OK, those timing chains are a
joke & the water pump isn't much better) - the Stag that I had my father
rebuilt the engine carefully and it was my daily driver while living in a
major city (Sydney, Australia) often having to cope with long traffic delays
in very hot weather and never missed a beat, no overheating, etc. And those
Stag engines rev like crazy & sound fantastic.
My $0.02 worth...
Cheers,
Todd Wilson
