TR250

[Barmyfluid]

Been considering this for a while. Seeing as the boat has already sailed on most 'beefy' '60's Brit roadsters might get into one of these. Could never see the attraction (let alone the safety) of running a left hooker in Blighty so how involved would it be to convert (over the obvious Dash/pedals/steering rack swap).
The TR250 lump seems a bit underwhelming compared to 150Bhp UK injection spec,is it a cam swap/head work to release horses ? Liking the thought of triple 40 DCOE's !!
Any pointers appreciated.

Unless you really want a TR250 I'd go for a TR4 if you want the style, or a TR6 if you want the poke. That said you can change to RHD and put in the PI gear without toooooo much difficulty...

Once you've started down the road of major surgery and loss of originality like swapping which side the steering wheel is on why bother with the faff of mechanical injection? Electronic injection or even full engine management will make living with it and driving it far easier, cheaper and more reliable.

Appreciate the input chaps. I've got a possible good lead on a California TR250 without engine/box so it could be solving itself.
TRbitz quote a lhd/rhd parts cost at £1500
I'm a bit handy(Andy) so it's ..:-)

If it 'appens I'll stick some photos up.

Well bugger my balls with a cheese grater it's on these shores. Almost soiled myself when it turned out to be at least as good as the photo's .
There's some issues (of course) but for now ...
