    Hello everyone
    I am a proud owner of a triumph sprint 900 limited edition. I have only managed to blow 2 massive holes in my engine after the big end went on me on a small trip to Gloucester I'm glad that I was not far away from home

    The question I have is what other engine can I put in it as I can not find another.... what other 900 engine will fit in without any changes to the frame

    Hi Adi - and welcome. As DD says, pretty much any carburettor 900 triple Sprint, Trident, Trophy, Daytona or Speed from 1992 to 1997 should fit straight in. There may be slight differences in electrical connections but the general interchangeabilty of the T3's should work to your advantage. National Triumph are, I understand, in Wolverhampton so perhaps within travel distance for you?

    Good luck with the swap!

    Welcome to the family. Sorry to hear about your engine demise. Do let us all know how you get on with getting it back on the road.
    Regards

    Hi Mate & Welcome to the Forum :cool: As others have already said, most of the 900 engines from the same era should slot straight in.
