Check your local Triumph or British club.
In the Indy area, try http://www.indianatriumphcars.com/xoops/
7510 Allisonville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46250
Tom Beaver, Secretary, TBe749@aol.com
Brett Johnson, Editor, 317-841-7677

See if they have a few leads for you.
Try Craigslist, local then state wide

Try other Clubs around, our clubs lists cars and parts for sale.
http://wptriumph.org/index2.html
or http://www.triumphspitfire.com/ClubsNA.html

I think the best is 302/5.0 Ford small block, but what ever motor you use to swap, the tranny is the challenge due to the narrow frame on the GT6!

Go fit it! It is a journey, but well worth it!
