How it was done
The car
Deryle Williams of Fort Worth, Texas owns this 1968 Triumph GT6, which has been converted to run a Ford V8 in place of its original six-cylinder engine. The page presents the car mainly through its listed specification and a small set of photographs, without a detailed account of the conversion process.
The engine
The car is powered by a Ford GT40 V8, described as producing approximately 450 horsepower and fitted with aluminum heads. This swap gives the small GT6 a substantially more powerful heart than its factory unit.
The transmission
Power is sent through a TCI Street Fighter C4 automatic transmission, paired to the GT40 V8 to handle the increased output in place of the original gearbox.
