>Came across a pair of 2" SUs off a Jag.  Will they work on a TR6, if so is

worth the trouble?  The engine is rebuilt and modified; over-bored, cam, 
roller rockers, headers, yada yada.

John, unless you got a special manifold with them they are probably going
to be a disappointment.  There will be an abrupt change in diameter at the
interface from carb to manifold and the turbulance will be
counterproductive to making power.  Additionally, the needle and jet are
profiled for a different motor and the mixture will probably be off
resulting in either lean conditions (lack of power) or rich conditions
(poor fuel economy)

Besides, I'll bet the bolt pattern doesn't match.

Cheers

Dave
