Yes, I know this isn't MG related, but I though that some might be interested in bits and pieces that could be used on MG swaps.

https://www.britishv8.org/Articles/Triumph-TR3-Plus-4.htm

This is a friend of mine that split a TR3 body in half and widened it to mount on a TR6 chassis, and then installed a Nissan 240SX driveline.

Randy works at a local college and has access to specialised machining, and is a very handy guy when it comes to solving the many problems this sort of project always present. In fact he is the guy that did the 'MG' engraving on the upper plenum of the 3.4 GM engine I put in my Jamaican.

Take a quick peek, you might find it interesting.

I'll also post this on the TR section - that ought to get some of them up in arms.... :laugh:
 
In arms of applause. It is a very nicely done project.

Most 6 owners, and just about everyone that I know, except early 3 owners, are not dyed-in-the-wool purists. If something will better the car it gets applied.

Looks like this owner has done an admirable job of applying betterments.
 
Bill,

This is very nicely done.

A WHOLE LOT more project than I would EVER undertake...

Should like to see a picture of the finished product...unless I missed it...

<span style="font-weight: bold">Oops.. never mind... I assume that it was the first picture.... It was just so well done I didn't noticed the change....</span>
 
Incidentally, this is just one of forty-one (41) articles in the brand new edition of "British V8 Magazine". This issue features over 740 big color photos of performance-modified British sports cars. Check the whole thing out for FREE from this table-of-contents page:

Tip: there's lots of good stuff for purists in our magazine too! In this edition, for example, you can see 16 photos of heritage MGB bodyshell production from Peter Mittler's recent tour.
 
Oh please, that is a work of art.
 
Great magazine and makes me really want a V8 or at least a V6.
That's a clever heat shield article with the product made out of aluminum signs!
 
Yea but I think it looks great and I bet it sends wakeup calls to all the rice burners and quite a few of the new fast stuff as well.
