1974 Triumph TR6 Ford V8 Conversion
Cruising in a 1974 Triumph TR6 with Ford V8 Power. It's a beautiful British sports car that looks completely original until you open the hood. The real thrill begins when you get behind wheel of this powerful, high performance classic.

Cruising in a tastefully modified 1973 Datsun 240Z 3.1L. It's a great looking and driving high performance Z that is a thrill to drive and sure to put a smile on your face especially when the triple Weber carburetors come alive.

Cruising in a 36 Ford Hot Rod. It's Beautiful and Fast and it could be yours!
Love it! I had one for a while. Mine had the straight six.
VERY well done except for the 4 lug wheels. Ugh! 🥺
I'd be curious to know if what the balance of the car is now, and if the handling got messed up?
Dreamy little car!
If I only had a Cobra, Tiger, even an Alpine.
Pretty much a go-kart with a V8!!! YUM!!!
The Little Windsor fits well in there!!
Sell it to me!!
Nice!!!
Professional job. The only thing I would change would be to put the battery in a box like on a boat.
What a clean installation! I wouldn’t think it would fit so well though changing that back plug under the steering column must be challenging?
Almost bought a TR7 in my teens in the late 70’S but a rust bucket. That was a close call would have been a money pit.
Any Car with a V8 is better.
you wreak, you dead
Wow, just saw this -- clearly done by someone with a high-standard... looks factory.
I wonder if a V12 would fit.
A British sports are that will leak less oil. FAB!
Beautiful car. I would prefer a sportier circle track cam and more masculine exhaust. BTW how is that car passing smog in CA???
1975 and earlier are exempt
Clearly the most reliable and best running TR6 ever built.
Well done!
Give me a choice of a blue eyed beautiful blond or this, I'll take this beauty
I had a TR6 that snapped an axil. Scared the crap out of me as the left rear wheel and assembly went whizzing by my head. Ford V8? Sounds great but TR6 axil assembly will not take the stress.
I can’t watch it but halfway. Did they ever start it up and drive it???
The reverse of a P51 (kinda). British car, American engine vs American aircraft British Merlin (Packard) engine. Wonderful !
Who did the conversion?
Tiger was my instant thought as well. And I have always loved the Tiger. But to see the thought carried out technically? I love it! Whip cream on top....No Lucas 😂
Well done. Very nice, but I would love to see a turbo K Swap in one of these. Easy 500 HP. Let's go!
Beautiful machine. Well crafted….
In my opinion, the TR6 is one of the most handsome cars ever made.
If there ever was a car that needed a small block V8 its the TR6. Super cool car. Just underpowered. Buddy had a new one in 1976. Yes, I am that old. And yes, gorgeous wheels. And LOVE the stupid bumper Zit delete. Hideous abomination.
I owned a 68 1/2 TR 250. British Racing Green. Those cars were a TR4A body style with Triumps first 6 cylinder. It had a bigger transmission to handle the 6 cylinder. Fun little car. The next year I believe they came out with the TR 6
How do you keep from blowing up your rear diff and U joints??
Beautiful! Perfect wheels for that car.
One thing that the original TR6 had going for it over a conversion like this was the unmistakable "note" of the motor and exhaust.
She's a beauty. Would love to drive it.
Salivating.
That is superb.
Just my view, needs a better sounding exhaust like Flowmasters 👍🔉🔊
If British Leyland had only done this to the TR6 like they did with the Sunbeam Tiger and AC Cobra they would still be in business. I have owned a TR3A, TR3B, and an Austin-Healy 100 which had a 6-cylinder engine like the TR6. While it was pleasant to drive, there is nothing like power in a small car to make it more fun. The same thing with the early Datsun 240Z which also had a straight 6 in it. There was actually a company that did V8 conversions for them and it made it a true sports car. To make it a truly reliable car, the entire Lucas electrical system would have to be replaced and the British suspension, both were terrible.
RIP Kevin Carmichael💐💐💐 did this five separate times to five separate cars every one of them was a bad ass machine!!!
Incredible Well done
Shame. Great 6 cylinder engine
Be better car all around with jap 300hp v6. Would still handle with lighter motor and still fast and biggest thing one thing triumph and ford sucknat, reliability😅
Beautiful build 👍🏻
I had a 1971 TR6 lots of fun ...took alot of tinkering ! I moved on .😃
A FORD ENGINE IN A FORD THANK GOD 🙏 BLUE OVAL LOVE💙 💘
Very nicely done.
Beautiful car
I am surprised this is not a more common swap !
I worked on these when they were new in the late 70s, and they never looked this good. Well done.
