240807 FM120701UE Completion video High Performance build JMAC Engine Shop (Chris)

This is the completion video of a Triumph Spitfire/MG Midget 1500. I built this engine for high performance. I had the block bored and decked to receive TR6 pistons. It has Maxpeeding connecting rods and the head was shaved for high compression. The compression goal was 10.2:1. I'm not sure we reached that; but all the cylinders have 200 psi. The TR6 pistons provide more displacement coupled with high compression and a 275 duration cam should give this motor a lot more pep. We lightened the weight with aluminum front and rear plates and an aluminum flywheel. If you are interested in a performance motor, visit my website at www.jmacengineshop.weebly.com

Nice build!

Why is the distributor jiggling around? Sounds good I could tell you had a cam in it when it was started and idling.

Appreciate the breakdown, but why this platform?

Not sure what you mean, "this platform."
