The answer is yes and no. Depends on which 5 main engine you get. All of them
will have the wrong pilot shaft bushing, but that is pretty easy to correct, as
the MGA has a smaller transmission input shaft. The clutch disk will need to be
changed. The later 5 main bearing MGB motor (1968 and on) can be adapted, but
has a different starter (and location) as well as a different back plate, and I
think a different flywheel (but don't trust me on the flywheel).
