1979 TRIUMPH TR7 PROJECT CAR

 1979 TRIUMPH TR7 DROP TOP PROJECT CAR. I BOUGHT A CONVERSION KIT FROM JOHNS CARS TO CONVERT THE 4 CYLINDER 2.0 LTR FOR A BUICK 3.8 LTR V6.  THE WEBSITE IS    johnscars.com.   HE OFFERS ENGINE CONVERSION KITS FOR TRIUMPH TR7S AND JAGUARS AND DATSUN 240Z. IF YOU GO TO JOHNS CARS WEBSITE YOU CAN READ IN DETAIL ABOUT THE CONVERSION. IF YOU  CONTACT ME I HAVE A COMPLETE LIST OF WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THIS PROJECT...   I CHOSE THE KIT FOR THE BUICK 3.8 LTR  AND THE 700R4 TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS A RARE AUTOMATIC. SO IT SHOULD NOT BE TOO HARD TO INSTALL THE 700R4.  I HAD THE TRANSMISSION BUILT FOR 500 HORSEPOWER. COMES WITH A STALL TORQUE CONVERTER. I ORDERED A DRIVESHAFT THAT HAS THE FRONT YOKE FOR THE 700R4 TRANS AND THE ADAPTER FOR THE TR7 REAR DIFF.  FROM I REMEMBER ELDELBROCK OFFERS PERFORMANCE ALUMINIUM HEADS AND A PERFORMANCE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THEY OFFER A 500 CFM CARB.

.                                                                                                                                                                         OK WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO DO TO FINISH THIS PROJECT..  THE IS GOING TO NEED SOME BODY WORK AND PAINT. THERE NO HOLES JUST SURFACE RUST. YOU WILL NEED WHEELS AND TIRES. THE CAR COMES WITH 13 INCH WHEELS BUT YOU WILL NEED 14 INCH WHEELS AND 205 / 60 / 14 TIRES. THIS IS BECAUCE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS SENT TO JOHNS CARS TO BE CALIBRATED FOR THE BUICK 3.8 LTR ENGINE [ SPEEDO - TACK - ALL GAUGES ]. THATS ALL BEEN DONE. THE KIT COMES WITH A WIRING HARNESS THAT PLUGS INTO THE TR7 FACTORY WIRING. NEXT IS THE ENGINE. I BOUGHT A BUICK SKYHAWK TO GET THE ENGINE AND ALL THE INPORTANT BRACKETS. YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILT AT THE MOMENT IT IS STRIPED DOWN TO THE BLOCK. YOU WILL NEED FRONT CALIPERS [ I HAVE PART NUMBERS ] CROSS DRILLED AND SLOTED FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. I HAVE 2 SETS OF BRAKE PADS THAT COMES WITH THIS PROJECT.  THERE ARE REAR BRAKE SHOES BUT YOU WILL NEED REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS.                                                                                                                                                                                                            I RESTORED ANOTHER TR7 YOU CAN SEE THE BROWN CAR IN THE PICTURES SOME YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD BOTH AND I ORDERED EXTRA PARTS FOR THIS CAR.
