Designed to clear the larger stroke of the TR6??? If this is the same as mine, the block is about 25 lb heavier than the earlier GT6 engine and I see no benefit to having it. However, mine does not say Special on it.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><div class="">On Aug 24, 2019, at 9:26 PM, Mike Harmuth via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">This came up the other day on a Triumph forum.
