I've almost completed the conversion . Engine, tranny are in. Static timing still has to be set, metering unit timing set, LHD P.I. accelerator pedal mounted, bosch pump along with new aluminum TR5 fuel tank (with PRV and metering unit independent returns, swirl chamber and baffles)
Here are a few pics...enjoy

Sweet!
Used parts are negotiable; they look better on your car than in my shop.

In reply to a post by On a side note, you went against common convention with the black engine bay. I kinda lean the same way as I prefer to have the engine bay black (it's black in my white TR6) rather than the same colour as the car. Anyone else have their engine bay black?
The Triumph engine bay came painted body color. GM engine bays are painted black.
Painting a Triumph engine bay rattle can black is the fastest way to depreciate the value of your car.
Generally the quick tip off of an econo non-original re-spray; along with painted door latches.
But, as they say, its your car.

When i do get to my engine bay it will be painted a contrasting light colour to my body colour.
The purist in me says stick to the stock red on red. But the car guy in me says do it in Ford 9N tractor grey engine bay with the red.
My dad had a 9n and it was so cool to drive when your 7.
