    vitesse engine

    So Mk2 Vit engine into a 2000 how will that work ? A saloon box, 2000 flywheel or Vit flywheel? Or will it need a 2000 crank and how do we know if it is long or short backed ? Andy
  2. I have one (trooper type) on my 1500 Herald so is it a straight swap onto a 2000 engine?
  3. So what starter is needed if you want if for a MK2 triumph 2000 ?
  4. Thank you all for your reply's . I will look into needle numbers thank you. The engine it is going onto is bog standard 1500 so not looking for a power increase but an easier set up better on juice and only worse higher up the rev range which 1500 dont like as this one is standard ish. It has a DBL needle in at the moment MG Metro 1300 this is rich for a 1300 and i can compare needles on Minty. I have a set of twin 1"1/2  which will go on my played with 1500 (but not built yet) because that will be revving higher thus the single may or may not hold my back a bit but will try both. Thanks again for all your comments this forum is GREAT ! Andy
  5. Dolly manifold so equal inlet tract, carb to manifold face machined out to 1" 3/4 from 1" 1/2 ,mini throttle linkage plate.   Hope photos come out. I thought one of the 1500 Dolly had a single carb also, Mr Kipping had this set up on his Van. Andy
  6. Has anyone got a needle number for a single SU fitted to a 1500 ? It's is actually a 1 3/4 hif as fitted to a MG Metro. Any help on needles for a 1500 will help as I have free flow exhaust and a k&n filter, electronic ignition apart from that engine is standard ish.              Thanks Andy:
  7. Nice one, I am only in Barnsley if you get stuck or need a hand and  frequently go to Selby for work. Andy
  8. Tried there he sells them all to someone in America !!! Andy  
  9. Hi all,         Where is the cheapest place i could get a 1500 twin SU inlet manifold only (as i do not need the carbs) from £45 - £55 on the bay can anyone suggest anywhere i could try that would be cheaper? Regards Andy
  10. Are we talking Herald 1200 with Solex carb? Andy
  11. I have had great success with the jacking up method. Andy

Slight difference in bore size although the same back-box is listed for both, I think..... Hi where are you as i have just taken mine complete manifold and system off to fit something else ! Andy
  13. Morning all, I am taking my 13/60 engine and box out in one and fitting a 1500 and non-overdrive single rail all in one . Where is the best place for balance to fit the engine hoist? Regards Andy
