Many thanks to all of you for your help and comments. I had been Lucky to find a NOS "PI" cam here for nearly nothing ! I still have the inlet manifold has been flowed on a bench. Of course, I like the big cd175 ... but i don't think it is a benefit setting with the standard exhaust manifold ... It seems the perios 6/3/2 exhaust are quite rare ... The period SAH conversion was great ! My goal is just to keep the engine as original as possible and as I am rebuilding it: to try to build a long life lasting one, smooth and not too thirsty... Gently drove

Hello there, I am starting the inspection before to rebuild my early 2000MKI engine. It is in quite condition and completely standard. There is only one part modified: the inlet manifold has been opened on a bench. the exhaust is the standard one (and would prefer to stay with it: the budget doesn't allow the CW manifolds :-( ) I am wondering if it would be a good thing to change the camshaft to have a little more "punch" (not a screamer) ... I know on small four cylinder engine the early and late 18/58 are often replaced by the MKIII camshaft 25/65 ... Would it be interesting for me to use: - "307689"/150 (TR5& 6 early CP) 35/65 with 0.25 lift - "308778" ( vitesse+GT6+ 2.5PIMKI & MKII) 25/65 with 0.232 lift - "311399"/125 (TR6CR+2.5PIMKII) 18/58 with 0.240 lift The original MKI is "306632" 18/58 with 0.220 lift (quite similar to 306785). "307621" seems to be less interesting : 10/50 with 0.215 lift All your comments are more than welcome ! Thanks a lot !!

Hello to all of you, Please may you help me? What is the correct position of the Overdrive badge on an early 2000MKI? I tought it was on the right side of the number plate above the triumph 2000 badges; as the automatic badge. My car is a "66 model similar to very early cars (white dials, no vents in the dash but the Horn ring at the steering wheel): i saw further pictures of french "66 cars and the Overdrive badge was on the left side of the number plate.... Hère is my question: is is special to the french market?or to "66 cars? Many thanks to let me know if someone has the answer

Many thanks to all of you ! On the price list I have from 1965: there is Ambla Trim only. The leather appears as option only about 1967 (according to the 1967 price and option list): with the second version of the MKI (rubber on overrrider, new badges, black dials, new heater ans dash vent holes ... )

Thanks Richard !!! The Ambla trim was used by Triumph on early MKI. I think Jaguar used this trim on S type and 420 when they wanted to down size the price of their models.
