The current petrol 3.0l V6 engine has no relation to the Triumph engine. The current petrol 2.3l I4 engine has no relation to the Triumph engine. The current petrol 2.0l I4 engine has no relation to the Triumph engine. The current diesel 3.0l V6 engine has no relation to the Triumph engine. The current diesel 2.2l I4 engine has no relation to the Triumph engine. The previous petrol 2.3l I4 engine had no relation to the Triumph engine. The first petrol 2.0l I4 from 1972 shared some design features with the Triumph engine (like the bent engine block[1]) but all designs starting with the first 2.3l I4 are quite different (like having a straight engine block). [1] from the side it looks like a V8 engine with one cylinder bank missing. -- G–ran Larsson Senior Systems Analyst hoh AT approve DOT se
