[Fot] TR6 with SU175's?

[TRDOCTOR at aol.com]

Are you talking about ZS175's or HS6 Carbs?  Looking at my GT6  everything 
looks close to the bonnet.  I think that is why they put a bolt  on the 
front valve cover mount instead of the usual stud.  If in doubt you  can mock it 
all up without gaskets and put some modeling clay on the parts you  think 
you have clearance problems with and then GENTLY lower the bonnet and  then 
raise the bonnet and measure the amount of "squish" to determine the  
clearance.

So I  bought a set of SU175's, used, on eBay. They came with the shorter 
version  
of the intake manifold which is what I think is 'early' manifold (69-70?)  
. My 
1971 TR6 has the 'deeper' manifold and to make it easier I'm trying  to 
line the 
SU's up on the deeper version. I'm wondering if the front carb  will clear 
the 
hood with the dashpot seemingly close to the inner support  beam of the 
hood.
Or... does the GT6 intake manifold also line up with the  TR6 head? I've 
got a 
couple modified intakes that take 175's. The TR6  manifold rises up from 
the 
head, the GT6 manifold drops down.
