Triumph TR7 with a Ford SHO V6

Triumph TR7 with a Ford SHO V6

The Triumph TR7 was built by the Triumph Motor Company from 1974 to 1981. This owner wanted to swap a SHO into their Triumph TR7 but found a lot of problems. The owner first started this swap about a year after the SHO engine was first released. The biggest issue was switching from a transverse to longitudinal layout. As if the engine swap wasn’t hard enough, he also installed a turbocharger. The owner spent approximately $12,000 on the modifications and a 13.7 sec quarter mile. The owner is contemplating building a SHO V8-powered Miata, Northstar V8-powered Fiero, or VR4-powered Eclipse.

  1. i have the triumph TR7 powered by turbo sho engine i want sale if you interested send me a mail

  2. A Saab engine would’ve been much easier, I suspect, as it’s a derivative of the Triumph engine and is mounted lengthways to begin with.
