No build thread
If I ever find the time for that it will be MB related.
As to the defile objection,MG was in the process and made a few V8 powered MG's with the rover v8 which was a buick GM 215cu in engine.So installing a lighter v6 GM is still a valid swap. If MG had not gotten killed in our market with smog and bumper height regs a v based engine would have allowed it to go freeway speeds in the modern world.
I'm just making it what it could be. I will enjoy the tiny engine for a bit
Too many projects

MGB's turned into a very nice Monday morning car show.

some other MGB videos listed in the side bar under my MGB profile
1971MGB My latest is the Bedouin tan colored one.
Side note picked up a 130K mile 1988 300E yesterday to
swap it's low mile engine and trans into a mint condition White 1988 that trans and engine has seen better days.
Bought it for $650 with new battery and he just installed a new water pump,hoses and belts. After it donates the engine and trans and maybe the grey leather int. I will part out all good parts and glass and still have an offer of over 400 bucks scrap iron from a recycler. Gotta love when a plan comes together
Giving it to my 19 year old daughter. Nice safe solid ride

Keep them boys away from the daughter once she gets that 300E going.
