4th in a series:

For folks who prefer the handsome lines of the 6... we've got you covered today too! Here's a really nice example with a Chevy 350 engine: https://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/KenSchmidt.htm (13 photos!)

Love the engine bay, hate the steering wheel.

 

[RonMacPherson]

which auto tranny is he running?

 

[CurtisJ]

"TH-2004R automatic transmission (with overdrive), from California Performance."

There's always a line in our "How It Was Done" summary for the transmission details.

I like his choice of colors, chrome and battery hold downs....

But I'm not wild about the wheel either. Probably because I can't imagine trying to hold on to a slippery wooden wheel when you hit that thing to the floor and get into you first turn.

Obviously with so many cars on that website we can't start a new thread here for every one, but there is a sprite or midget on there with a Jag 6 cylinder engine in it which is really cool! Check that one out for Big British Power in a small British car.

That Sprite was at Import Carlisle. Beautifully done.

Nicely done, but the hood scoop ruins it all for me and makes it look amateurish.

Surely he could have used a low rise manifold and kept the car looking like a relatively stock one (wheesl and tires aside). It would have been much neater as a sleeper.

What is it about people that some want to stick on scoops even when they don't need them......too much reading of Hot Rod magazine as a youth perhaps?
