Hello guys,

I own several English classic cars, including 3 TVRs, + a few Triumphs.

One of my TR6s is fitted with a mighty engine (about 180hp at the rear wheel), feed by 3 Webers, but I do not want to keep this engine in this car : this engine need a real "chassis", so it will find its new place under my LHD 2500M' bonnet.


The only problem is that the rear carb foul a sort of air duct in the firewall (sorry, my English is not fantastic).

Do you know how to sort this problem ?

Cheers !

Well, considering that I'm don't leave in a part of France who's above 25° (C) all year, I'd rather keep the heater, and this air duct seems to be for the heater.

Not sure that "duct" is the right word, btw : it's a sort of flat tube, bolted to the firewall, by the back of the engine head.

I modified an air cleaner, for the rear carb, and fit the most compact air horns on all inlets.
