Replacement Engine And Transmission For A 1966 Triumph Tr6 650.

3 minutes ago
Hello All,
I have had my 1966 Triumph TR6 650 since I was in my early twenties and I'm in my late 60's now. It was recently in a forest fire here in California and the engine and transmission were ruined. I don't have the heart to junk it and have been shopping on the internet for a used engine and transmission. I recently found this for sale: "1971 Triumph Trophy 650cc TR6C engine, transmission and carburetor." I am not a mechanic but have found a Triumph mechanic who is willing to install a new engine if I can find one. My question is 'will the this engine fit onto my bike frame?'
Any help you can give me would be greatly valued. I just feel sad when I look at my bike. I've always loved that bike.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Patrick

PS I am brand new to this forum so don't yet know anyone on the forum.

 

Thank you for replying Phred. The forest fire was a bad one and pieces of the engine came off when I moved it. My wife says junk it (she doesn't like bikes) but I do want to keep it and will keep searching for a replacement engine. Do you know if the one I located would work? Again, thanks so much for reaching out to me. The Triumph is a special bike and I had wanted one since I was a child.

Thank you. It's stored in a shed at my cabin in the mountains. My house was lost in the fire,too ,but carpenters in my family built a one bedroom cabin there for me and I go there on alternate weekends. I'll take photos in two weeks but the bike looks sad. I see it as it will look again. I was very proud ot it. Patrick

 

Thank you very much!

 

Thank you! I wish i knew how to do that but I'll ask around my area for a Triumph mechanic. Patrick
