Hi

New to this Board and hope someone can help out with a Triumph engine questionsmile

I recently purchased a factory built 1971 Marcos GT with a 2.5 Triumph engine. This is one of the eleven or
twelve that the factory made so not much info on mechanical's on the Marcos sites so hoping for some info here.

There was no history with the car when I bought it which is ok but now wondering if the motor may have
been hot-rod'ed to a larger degree than assumed when purchasing.

Looking at the motor ancillaries the engine has SAH valve cover, SAH carb manifolds, Weber 45 DCOE's, headers and finned deep sump aluminum oil pan.
What i'm wondering about without tearing the motor apart is if there is anyone with any idea of what SAH did to the internals (Cam etc.) when adding the above ancillaries?

I have done a bit of goggling and very little info on SAH

Thanks for any reply

Robert

Thanks for replying gents! Will have a go at the other sites.
Marcos did use a bunch of Triumph stuff on their autos. They also used Lucas however....smile
Engine was fired up for first time a few weeks ago after carb rebuild, what a sweet sound! May just have to keep it!
