Subject: [Healeys] MGB GT V8
Somewhat off topic but anyhow, here goes........
There may be an MGB GT V8 for sale locally. My wife had a regular one =
years ago. (1800cc?) It was OK but it seemed to me that it just looked =
like a sports car but didn=E2=80=99t really behave like one.
But a V8 would be a different story?=20
1) Our driveway is narrow. A 3000 goes through like a greased pig, =
but most cars are too fat. Is a B wider than a Healey?
2) The 3.5 ex Buick engine......isn=E2=80=99t that the one that TVR =
bore out to 4.6?
Seems to me that the 3.5 would offer up some serious power if =
sufficiently tweaked? Or am I thinking of a different engine?
I think it=E2=80=99s the same engine that Rover used to put in their =
cars. Police 3.5s went like rockets considering the cars=E2=80=99 =
weight.
Any comments would be welcome.
Thanks,
Simon
