Looks like it would be way front end heavy. Does it still handle like a sports car or is it more of a muscle car now?

 

[rick_ingram]

Assumptions of poor handling due to being "nose heavy" are simply not true on a well done conversion. I equate this to the bad press that the MGC received upon its debut...all because of inaccurate tire pressures.

And yes, there have been "poor set-ups" done...the owners usually correct these as ability, time, and money allow.

Most of these conversion still handle like the sportscar that the MGB was designed as...but they do indeed have considerably more power. Mine, like Tony's, probably generates about 300bhp at the flywheel.
