Mike:
I too am driving a truck instead of an MGB. I've been thinking
about the Dodge turbo conversion too. Hmmm 550 ft lbs of torque. My
engine is already set up for rear wheel drive. I figure if I offset the
engine to the passenger side of an MGB a bit I might still be able to get
some leg room. The 5.9L Cummins turbo diesel is a bit long. :)
Kelvin.

Lots of MGs
