AJP8 in a Dolomite Sprint Progress

[SprintV8]

Thing's are going really slow at the moment.<br>
The gearbox Borg Warner/Tremec T5 has been stripped checked and rebuilt with new bearing's seal's and Input/Jackshaft's and new 5th gear's.<br>
<br>
Another rear axle has been sourced Jensen Salisbury 4HA and is fitted with a LSD <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Ratio is a tad on the wrong side but this can be changed later,<br>
It need's to be narrowed and will be fitted with the Sprint mounting's along with a possible revised top mount's and a panard rod.<br>
<br>
Engine,<br>
Stripped down and checked,<br>
Ex Tuscan race heads sourced (1 missing from engine when bought),<br>
Crank's OK just needed a polish up new bearing's (Main's End's)<br>
Piston's new along with new liner's (The old liner's can not be rebored without making the walls too thin and having custom forged piston's would cost a arm and leg.<br>
Just waiting for a reply from tvr for some build spec's to fit the new liner's.<br>
<br>
The Stag engine and Gearbox and other part's are all removed and sitting in a new home waiting for transpant<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> .<br>
<br>
Bigger Front Brakes (Photos on Triumph Owners Site) are fitted and I need to swap over the front subframe so the new one can be adapted for the AJP8 but cant do that till the engine back.<br>
<br>
Ho Hum.

Good Luck Phil<br>
<br>
The race is on as to who will be first to have a running trackday car!<br>
<br>
Can't wait for all these modified Sprints to be seen together!<br>

Sounds like an ideal article for Retro cars. You know the type where they use a standard race-car like mine and then proclaim that all of them are better than mine!<br>

WELL CHUFFED. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Finally today got to trial fit the AJP8 and T5.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
Need to get the engine lower down<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/nerd.gif ALT="8o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ,Cutting the sump open to give clearance for the rack and crossmember,<br>
Then when it's in it's final resting place then make up the engine and gearbox mounting's. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Brake Servo and Brake/Clutch master may have to be moved. <br>
Suspension turret's will also need fettling so I can use the TVR exhaust manifold's. <br>
I also had to cut and remove the front crossmember so I'll refabricate one when it's all back in.<br>
