Oh that Triumph Stag idea sounds horrible. It comes with an Aluminum
single overhead Cam V-8 already ! A very cool engine, but not particularly
strong. at 324 ci (as I remember), it sounded great, but they have problems
with some internal parts like the crank. I have heard of Several that had
wtisted cranks.... Very Nice cars however...look very Exotic on the road...
I'd love to fins a nice of one of those as well as the Sunbema Alpin I'm
looking for..(215 goes into the Alpine !!)
