Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

I mean, by that logic, GQ didn't really do anything wrong either......

 

That's fantastic. Glad to see it still on the road!

Another friend of mine used to collect Triumphs. I think at one point he had seven or eight in a slightly oversized two-car garage

 

no he was wrong and always wrong lol keep him gone

 

Lol. Long story. The original engine spun a main bearing just out of warranty. Austin took pity, sent dad a complete new engine - in pieces. The guy who put it together did a bad job, and it burned oil. Eventually Dad got tired of carrying around a case of oil in the trunk and swapped in a 5.0 ford. Drove it till the salt got to it, took it apart in the late 80s. It sat in pieces till the early 2000s when we realized the engien was still good, got it rebuilt, and got it moving again.

TLDR; Complete frame off. Rebuilt engine, 5 speed manual transmission, 9" ford rear end.

 

nobody but even none stock the other cars already have an easy advantage

 

There's a guy around the corner that seems to have a collection going too. Seems like there's 3 or 4 at his house at any one time. I need to wander over there sometime and chat him up.

 

you have a 5.0 in that thing! now that sounds like a party!

 

Is it wired negative earth?

 

Things just got more interesting...

 

It sounds amazing. You can see half of the exhaust in that first pic.

 

Asking the real questions here

 

Suuuure lol

 

Nope. Fully rewired.

 

Wait, I'm slightly drunk and tired.


Yes, negative earth.

 

Just like all good racecars.

 

Getting there myself

 

Same though. That's why I asked. I was thinking, "FFS it's a good thing I don't have to think about that nonsense with the Taco."
