Hello all.This is my first question to the group and have no idea on how to=
 broadcast it amongst everyone but here goes.I have been intrigued over the=
 years as to how the suffixed 'H' or 'HE' 6 cylinder engines have made thei=
r way to North America.=C2=A0Up to now, and according to the Triumph TR6 pa=
rts book, an engine with the suffix 'HE" meant that it was a PI (Petrol Inj=
ected) high compression (thus the H) Engine (thus the E). I have written to=
 many early TR6 owners which have their engines with this suffix but always=
 have had dual strombergs, not PI engines.I also know that the Vitesse has =
the HE suffix as well. There might be other HE engine/car combinations unkn=
own to me.It appears that the H was dropped sometime in early 1970. I also =
know that all TR250's have the HE engine suffix.=C2=A0Does anyone know anyt=
hing more about this and do the HE engines have the same horsepower as thei=
r English counterparts?
Cheers,Patrick/BespokeRoadsters
