Hi all, Awesome information and knowledge in this forum, probably going to need all of it for my project, but that's have the fun, right?
I am 58, located in Newcastle, NSW, Australia, and currently have a red 1976 MGB, beautiful little car. The plan is to convert her into a V8, so plenty of work to do, but i have time on my side and a full workshop with hoist, so looking forward to the challenge.
Besides the MGB i have a 1976 Rover 3500, P6B with 4.0 worked motor that i am thinking of using as a donor car, using the motor and diff. Well we'll see :wink-new:
Also have a 1999 Porsche boxster that i rebuilt over a few years.
When i work out everything, ill post some photos.

Cheers Glenn

Hello Glenn

Welcome to the forum.

Went to a car show last year and saw several MGBs with a V8 conversion. A friend in England had a MGB GT V8 back in 1980.
