So i just picked up a 1969 mg midget That has been sitting in a garage since 1979...
It ran when it was parked there. I am very new to this MG deal. The very little I know about anything british comes from having a 66 triumph 650 Bonneville once.
The car needs a little body work and I can handle that with ease. Made a dumb mistake hauling it home with a dolly and leaving the rear wheels on the ground I believe I may have shot the gear box. I guess not a huge deal even if I stay stock on the drivetrain which I still have not decided on... Everyone I know says keep it original, Its worth a pretty penny that way. I do not see that from ebay listings. Not looking like a big money bringer. Though that is not my intent on this project. I know some people with parts and what I see on ebay is really not that expensive.
I do not know all the specs for this car... From what I gather a 69 is a 1275 cc midget? mkiii? What is the MGA, B, C deal. How do I determine that?
I have scrolled through here and seen the big gm 60degree v6 posts and all and though I can handle the job I am not sure I want to.
How does this block handle beefiness??? Has anyone here really beefed up one. Just a good rebuild maybe. What would that do for it? Nice sized cam? Anyone done any boring and and compression changes?
Dont guess theres a stroker kit? LOL
Head work... is there a nice set of heads that would swap right out off another model or what? or would someone suggest a good intake/exhaust port level?
I know its a lot of questions but this is where I am at and what I am thinking.
Keep the stock motor and modify....
OOOHHHHH and whats the skinny on the rear???? what is the ratio and is there any opinions with size ratio and locking?
I do have some extra parts for this car too I would love to trade for some other stuff when I decide my direction...
Extra doors
trunk lid
seats
convertable rack
stock steering wheel (if i can find a hub conversion to a smaller wheel)
extra wire locking wheels
MAYBE more!
any help would be cool!
