A Triumph GT6 with LS Street Muscle
BRITISH CHARM AND V8 POWER MAKE A POTENT COMBINATION
Jon Cook is an extra-motivated hot rodding type who walks his own path with a creative vision that others failed to grasp, but but overwhelmingly approve of once they've seen the final results. Jon's contribution to the melting pot of hot rodding lore evolved from a tired Triumph GT6 to a wicked fast, all aluminum-motored street prowler that will put a grin on any riders face. With a more than 400% power increase and the car's light wewight, this is one fast and nimble little street surprise. One glance at the wheels and big rubber on this car is a pretty good indication of the muscle lurking within.
A modified LS1 from a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am with a T56 manual trans hides big power under the factory tilt-frontend. Jon raised the ante by adding a Tick Performance Street Heat Stage-2 camshaft with an SLP double roller timing set and performance oil pump. He added LS2 style coils, and a under-drive balancer and upgraded fuel rail from Summit Racing. Holley valve covers help the visul appeal. He then built a custom set of thermal wrapped 1-3/4-inch primary headers leading to a Street Thunder muffler via 3-inch pipes with a Y-connector to a stainless Magnaflow muffler.
