James, I've not done a search but have been trying for some time to make a point of reading anything regarding the TS on this forum. However, it could be listed in one of a myriad places and often regards asking for advice on a problem (nothing wrong with that).
While I'm not trying to start a Twin Spark register here, but felt it would be nice if those who have gone through the swap list it on one thread.
Unless I'm missing something, the two main differences of these swaps is which model it was installed in and what fuel system is being used.
I did assume most are pleased by the results of the swap, but wanted to get a general idea of 'how pleased'.
If someone has listed this info elsewhere and perhaps included a photo, or several, what's wrong with also listing it here?
Dino246, thanks for going into some detail regarding your labor of love. It is truly a work of art. I have to say, once all of the Motronic items have been stripped away, it sure looks purty. Actually with those angled air horns, it looks a lot like a 'somewhat' very trick vintage race engine.
What surprises me is that it appears as if most TS swappers have used the 45's. To my way of thinking this makes it a modern version of the GTA engine - no bad thing. But I do continue to feel that a well sorted out aftermarket EFI system would be the ideal for these engines - though I don't know a thing about them, let alone which one works 'best' in the TS.
Years ago a group of us were at a fellows Jaguar shop. If you've ever seen one of the engine bays on a mid 80's Jag V12, you know what a nightmare of hard and flex lines there is. He'd installed a V12 using an aftermarket EFI in a hot rod and it was extremely clean under the hood - as opposed to an engine that the engineers kept adding peripheral 'stuff' until they got the engine to run right and 'pass smog'.
What's neat about photos of these engine bays is no two are exactly alike. I'd sure love to see one with a supercharger installed.
