If all you want is an injected TR performance, I=E2=80=99d do this. Buy a us=
spec car.
TR5 camshaft, still available in U.K. and a bit better too than the original=
. Shave the head to at least 9.5:1, fit flat top pistons, a Lucas D25 or 26 d=
izzy, the equivalent of the SAH 6-3-1 extractor exhaust manifold, two 1.75 S=
U carbs and bingo, you=E2=80=99re there. Ideally, if the donor car is a late=
model 6, email Chris Witor in the U.K. for a 215019 head. These didn=E2=80=99=
t go to the US but we=E2=80=99re the best heads of the lot. Chris will confi=
rm this and he=E2=80=99s a Triumph performance specialist. Goes without sayi=
ng you=E2=80=99ll need anoverdrive. J type is ok but A type better imho. You=
=E2=80=99ll then have a car that is the injected versions performance equal i=
n every way. These things are what we do in the U.K. to all 250s and carbed 6=
s that find their way back here. Good luck
