I posted the same thing on the Spridget forum, I figure this forum gets more traffic so I'll post it here too.
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Pete and I have a car addiction. I normally work on VWs but now I'm venturing to the world of MGs.
I recently aquired a 1973 MG Midget. She has been sitting in a nice dry garage for 23 years with a blown motor. there's not that much rust. just a hole in the left side of the trunk floor, rusty exhaust, and right front quater panel.
This summer I will procced to take her appart down to bare shell and do a complete restoration. I love keeping cars original but looking at what kind of power to weight ratio i can get with the midget it might be a good idea to do an engine swap.
I'm thinking of transplanting a Nissan sr20det turbo 2.0 4 into the Midget. Has anyone done this? Where can I find more information on MG midget engine swaps? I've serched on Google and this forum. Looks like the rotary engine is a popular swap.
How much power can the Midget rear end handle? Any tip, suggestions, and comments are welcome.
Thanks,
Pete
