I really rate Newman cams even though they aren't in Yorkshire.... but Fives Landis are.

🙂

So, do you have an engineering company in your neck of the woods that have and use Fives Landis?

If so, what are their details?

I don't thnk that you will get that much improvement from any reasonable cam.

But a 2.5L engine is a revelation in terms of mid range torque, even without any mods.  Do that and you understand why Triumph never did it, in a car half a tonne lighter than  the TR6!  And it's easy to fit to the GT6, just use the OE sump and rear engne plate, and bash two grooves in the shallow floor of the sump to clear the Nos. 1 and 2 big ends.

I know this is an aged post, but in the interest of keeping the information current - if you use Maxpeeding con rods there is no need to dent the sump to fit a 2.5 unit to a GT6 sump, they clear just fine.

No idea what gear they use, but for all the machining work (block bore, crank polish, head skim) for my engine build I've used Bill Browns in Halifax (https://maps.app.goo.gl/QJKmxJJgPZDKvuvH6). Engine tuner commented on how "clearly your machinist knows what they are doing" when it was rolling road tuned, so I'm happy with that.

Indeed!  As I have discovered myself!   Since that post!
