I would like to know more about such a head. Lanky assured me that 8000 reliable RPM was very achievable in the 70s when Bob was racing the TR6. It was the 6350 RPM harmonic imbalance of having only 4 main bearings that brought about crank failure. He stated
that they would spend 5k in the 70s on a billet crank, and it could still be counted on to fail before or after the huge counterweight. He said 10 laps, or 100, at some point, the crankshaft was most always the culprit.<br>

However, given forced induction, he didn't feel that the cast head would be a problem. I wish I would have talked more about porting, but I was focused on the crankshaft and main bearing. Of course, the sanctioning body would have never allowed a 5th main bearing,
so it was never a consideration. He told me that they even ran stock rods. Shot peening, sizing, and balance was about all the stock rods needed to survive. I haven't purchased any rods, but am certainly open to opinions on the subject.

I guess that thought process made me a entrepreneur. I've seen good times as well as bad. I refuse to wholly dismiss my wants, desires and passions in lieu of a safety net for retirement. I may get hit by a flying pig today, and find out on the other side of

My next TR6 will be powered by a twincharged Triumph 2.5 liter bored .30 over. After meeting with Lanky Foushee while he was still alive, he actually flamed the fire of passion to potentially get as much as 600 HP from a Triumph 2.5 liter engine by adding
a 5th main bearing where the counterweight currently is. I learned so much from Lanky. I have nothing but fond memories of my many phone conversations with him. My next step is a custom billet crank. I have the block machined and ready. I have a custom cam,
custom pistons, Lucas Petrol Injection drilled for EFI, serpentine belt system with the GM pancake AC compressor, a supercharger from a Toyota Previa van, and a Garret turbo. </div>

I am a car idiot. I have more cars than I care to admit. The Triumph TR6 has always been my favorite. I was introduced to the TR6 in 1976 by a tall beautiful blonde driving a 1975 French Blue TR6. I was 17 years old. With that said, in the 42 years since that
day. I have owned 16 TR6s. I plan on building at least one more. <br>

With that said, I have grown an affection for Jaguar as well. I appreciate any and all conversation on topic or not. Yet, I too, began to weary of those who don't think through the entire topic. I got flamed many times for typing things that I knew damn well
to be factual. I now practice the enjoyment of others thoughts. As we age, I hear from many that loneliness is the greatest enemy of our lives.
