Re: [non rocco] real muscle

Triumph also made this car from the factory, it was called a TR8.

However, as tuned from the factory, it was a wimp (like most other late
70's V8s)

It used a Rover V6, for which BL purchased the rights from GM some time
ago (the sixties I think)

Hmm...we used to briefly ( a couple of weeks which was still too 
long) own a TR7 with the Buick V-6 in it.  Bat Out of H**l if you 
ever saw one.  Never mind the car was a complete POS, it was a blast. 
 Cruising down main, top down (it could have been up, but it still 
would have been down with so many holes in it), just floor it and let 
dirt particle get caught up in the air and go straight into you eyes.

 know of lots of Volvos with Ford 5.0's or Chevy 350's in them. My
 gf's uncle
has a totally stock-looking '83 Volvo 244 with a Chevy 350 in it.
Stock wheels and everything. Pretty cool. Fits right in that engine
bay, almost looks like it's supposed to be there. Anyone want to put a
Buick V6 in a Triumph TR7? I have a kit to do it! And it's for sale!!
(laugh) Like I'll ever find anyone to buy it... OK now this is really
not a Scirocco related post... I think I'll label it such...
