Carroll has one. It was updated with power steering from a Miata about five years ago.

Hi, Tiger enthusiasts.

It seems I ended up with three Ford based products:

1) My 1965 Sunbeam Tiger (BRG), with Carroll Shelby designed V-8, with all running gear from Ford
2) My 2005 Ford Thunderbird (RED) with all running gear from Jaguar
3) My 2011 Ford Edge LTD (RED) made in Canada.

Looking for a Ford GT (RED), when I can afford a new garage, and my wife's moving out.:wub:

Will post some pics, later.

I am fairly well known in the Sunbeam Tiger community  :peelout:

Steve, know of any Tigers for sale?  I cannot get on the SVTOA or CAT sites since I am not a member any more.  I would even consider trading my 2000 Cobra R for a nice hardtopped Tiger.   Thanks.

Scat 4340 Crank
Probe I beam rods (5.315)
Probe SRS pistons flat top
Clevite bearings
1/2" girdle with windage tray
Trick Flow Stage 2 Hydraulic Roller Cam

It is much more enjoyable to drive now.  Have a weight/HP ratio of 6 pounds per HP.

The engine developed 416 on the engine dyno and has at least another 60 once tuned.

Here are a couple of links to some videos I have.
