One of a very few books that is specific to the Sunbeam Tiger. While the original title may have inadvertently mislead the reader into thinking that this was just another "How To Modify Your Ford 260/289 V8," this book goes way beyond the engine. It covers all possible areas of modification including the induction system, clutch, transmission, differential, suspension, wheels, tires, custom accessories, camshafts, Holley carburetors, speedometer correction, factory options, special part numbers, torque specifications, wiring diagram and a complete set of flat rate tables. It discusses SCCA, NHRA and AHRA modifications and includes a 40-page "step-by-step" photo section with 77 illustrations. The ultimate Sunbeam Tiger reference that has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is highly sought after on the secondary market. A "must-have" book for any Tiger enthusiast or owner, or anyone contemplating the purchase or restoration of a Tiger. A reproduction of the original 1967 publication.
