[Marcos 2,5 question]

Thanks all for replies. Will get it on the road this spring and have a proper drive to determine if anything needs to be changed:)

Chris59, Ill certainly let you know if I decide to sell the car, that would be a great drive back to France!

[Marcos 2,5 question]

I live in Stavanger, Norway.

I have spoken to Rory at Marcos Heritage, (great guy and great service) he has no build files for my car. Understand that

there was not a huge emphasis put on trying to keep track of car details at the time as they were

in financial trouble and I guess just needed to get the cars out the door.

Condition wise the car is just ok, needs paint, frame is ok but some surface rust. Interior is

actually really good and I think original.

Drive train appears solid( drove it a few kilometers last fall before parking it )

No overdrive but felt ok at Norwegian speeds:)

And here is the video of motor revving, maybe one of you Triumph savants

can determine if it has a lightened flywheel:)

Wow, thanks for all the helpful info! Obviously found the right place to ask

Triumph questions:)

Have attached a couple pics of the engine bay.

All I have done so far to engine is remove all the ancillaries and refurbish.

Carbs are DCOE 45s, Type13.

Im afraid I dont know enough about Triumph engines to hear the difference

between a standard and a lightened flywheel. Will post a video shortly

of running engine.

My car has always been reddish orange in color as far as I can tell. Believe its factory paint

from cowl back. Front fiberglass clip is newer and signs of damage repair on

right side of frame where hood is attached also points at front end damage in the past.

Hi all!

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

 

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, 6/2/1 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 typically did to the internals (Cam, porting, etc.) when adding the above ancillaries?

 

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

 

Thanks for any reply,

Robert
