Bugeyebug's 1979 Triumph TR7

Here is a video of it running

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RByP4DY4Cs

So here is my 1979 Triumph Tr7 With a Chevy Small Block :) it has , Hypertech ignition , Holley carb, Weind Intake, Summit fuel regulator with gauge, Block huger Headers, duel cooling fans, Summit Hi Flow Fuel Pump, Th350 With B and M Shift Kit, Hurst Promatic 2 Shifter, flowmaster dual exhaust , Chevy 8.8 Rear Axle Autometer Gauges, wide body kit , mr gasket scoop , cellica wing, vw tail lights, etc

I am in the middle of priming and leveling the car. Custom paint to come:)

the car is already very fast but i have a new engine and i might inject it. I have a 355 chevy with holly comand 950 tunnel ram injection  the new engine also has a crane cam and a pete jackson whiny gear drive , well see 

the pic in red  is the day after bringing the car home the others are the work day by day

Page 2 New Work And things to come!!

 

As of today Sep.21.09 i have done alot the car has a new sunpro tach on the dash with a shift light, new flip cover switch for the fuel pump, i had the seats out to mock up racing seats and to messure for a roll cage took forever the seat tracks were seized from not being move since 1979 took over 2 hours to free up. also pulled the entire dash and rewired pretty much everything so now im sure the electrical is up to my standerd.I have started on the cars new motor  It's a 350 Bored 30 Over So It's a 355 With a large crane cam and a pete jackson Noisy Gear Drive right now its on my stand for paint and im getting a set of 2.02 fuelly heads for her so no matter what she will scream and sound good doing it:)

i have since started injecting it but i dont like the look of the car with injection for starters i would have to get a huge scoop and cut the hood even more and secound i think what makes this car a life size hot wheels is the blower scoop. Ill post more pics later today of the injection. If you want to see the injection i chose before i put up new pics go to my other cars and look at the monte carlo , please let me know what you guys think so far i know its not what the Uk. would have done but im working with whats availble in U.S.A
