Um, the 100 really should have the folding windscreen.=20

Snake Rive Classics is doing something similar with the MGB, for only =
$100K (also WTF?).  They spec the GM LTG 2.0L engine, 260HP/270 lb.ft. =
as used in the Camaro. In my Healey by Caton, I'd take that over the =
original block and 185bhp. YMMV.
