Ls2 Swap into Triumph Wagon. One of a kind!!

[deathbyspoon]

In no particular order, here are pics of the current progress. Exhaust is all done, pedals and master cylinders mounted, need to run fuel and brake lines and all that. Then time for metal work. Sorry about the bad pics, had to use my cell phone since my camera battery died

Looks good. The headers stainless or mild steel? I like the use of race car parts IE: wilwood masters. G

[deathbyspoon]

Thanks, i believe they're mild steel. They're being ceramic coated soon.

I like the use of race car parts too...as well as a 500+ HP engine in a 2,000 lb car.

Running a little excessive camber in the front I see. Might wanna go get an alignment. LOL

Looks good bro

[m6z]

badass.

[deathbyspoon]

Too much camber, too much toe in :-) I need to have some custom steering knuckles made, and then i can do the alignment.

kick ass build!!! Def. wanna see this in action!

[jfg455]

I commend you on the use of vise grips as a precise steering control! What is the crush resistance of a shop rag by the way? Your american bulldog looks just like my old guy. Passed away 2yrs ago at 8yrs old. Build looks kick ass! I have the 610 stripped to a rolling tub. Will start cutting this week end. g

[deathbyspoon]

Given that the thread count of the shop rags isn't very high, i'm going to guess that the crush resistance is relatively low. It does increase slightly when the rags are sandwiched around a finger.

I'm actually going to add 3 more vice grips, one every 90*. I'll make the u-turns a lot easier.

The bulldog (a johnson american) isn't mine, but i wish he was. We're looking for a female to breed with.

Thanks for the build compliments

any new updates?

[deathbyspoon]

To update right now. Dropped the car off at my bud's shop to have the floor and firewalls done. Besides that, nothing significant.

Nice work. Thats going to be insane.

I know how you feel! LOL!

Is that an English numberplate behind the US one? Wondered why it is from 1972/73 if it is.

Aside from that trivia, nice work!

It is an english numberplate. Good eye! And you're right, it is not peruid correct. Neither is the "triumph" logo above it. Both of those will be changed soon.

Great work, love the choice of wheels too.

[deathbyspoon]

Damn it's been a long time...i didnt realize how slow progress has been until looking at this thread.

Just some small updates. Floor and firewall are almost done. Then back to me to coat the chassis, spring/cam swap, exhaust coating, axle shortening, wiring, and fenders.

Let me know your thoughts!!!
