TR6 Five Speed Conversion

Posted on by

The HVDA 5-speed conversion has proven a popular request here, so let’s take a look at progress on the latest swap. In addition to the transmission swap, the customer wanted us to pull the head and check the cam and lifters, which were pitted and worn. Peruse the pictures…

TR6 Motor Ready For Re-Installation

Here is the motor from a TR6, sitting on the stand ready for Chip to time the cam. We’ll get the transmission ready and then wait for the body to come back from the paint shop. After the photos, we put the front engine cover on. It’s ready to go in when the car gets back.

Wizard Cooling

Chip installed this Wizard Cooling radiator in his TR6. It’s cool (Ha!). If you are having cooling trouble, we recommend checking with them (or us first, if you like that better) to see if they can help. www.wizardcooling.com

This improved throttle linkage comes from Ratco, and replaces the original TR6 linkage. Ratco’s linkage allows more precise control of the throttle, which improves the operation of the cruise control Chip installed on his TR6. We like Ratco.

This is the stock linkage.

Gauges Reconditioned/Altered by West Valley Instruments

West Valley Instruments is a vendor we use when we need gauge help. Morris Mintz is the owner and he takes care of us. Below are some pictures of the refurbished gauges in Chip’s TR6. The speedometer is now a GPS speedometer and the tachometer is electronic rather than mechanical. Click over to West Valley Instruments’ website and have a look around. Tell them UK Motorsports sent you!

West Valley Instruments backlit the gauges with green LED lights.

More Triumph TR6 Fuel Injection

We are in the early stages of another Triumph TR6 fuel injection project. We’ve just affixed the fuel pump and run the line from the tank to the front. Dean has fixed up an inlet for the return line to the tank. It’s still early, but things are moving along.
