How similar are the chassis?

Edit: I'm looking at doing your body conversion and my understanding is the GT6 has the best handling suspension between all of these cars if you get the later one. My hope is to find one with a good rolling chassis but a completely dead and beat up body. So for everybody talking about how one looks better than the other one, it's not relevant, it was never relevant to the question in the first place. We don't have to worry about swapping body panels. It's for a body conversion. And I won't be molesting a good car.

Hey everyone, I know it's a weird question, I was just wondering how similar the chassis were between the cars. In terms of body attachment points, are they largely similar?

The $400 spitfire is finally home!

Currently talking with a shop about engine work, and I met a guy who gave me a free 1jz single turbo. I plan on just running NA for a while but will over build the engine.

The 2 questions I had for anyone who has sent their engine to a machine shop.

1 has anyone sleeved the 1.5l to 1.6?

2 can I run a draw through setup with an intercooler?

While the engine is in the shop I can work on the floor, differential and transmission.

Triumph GT6 Stromberg CDSEs running rich, any solutions?

I've just purchased a triumph gt6 MK3 and I'm having issues with it running too rich. In an attempt to rectify this, I bought a colour tune sparkplug, a flow meter and the adjustment tool (all the gear no idea!). No matter how much I lean the mixture, the combustion remains a rich yellow/orange colour until the engine begins to struggle.

Other symptoms have been hesitation while accelerating, backfires at higher RPMs, lots of black liquid spitting out of the exhausts and inability to idle when warm.

Does anyone have an idea what I could look at to rectify this? Could this be something to do with the floats perhaps? Cheers.
