Neil:
Don't be nasty.
Ben:
You are confused between the Triumph Stag engine, which is an alloy
head Dual overhead cam 3.0L V8 and the Rover aluminium block 3.5-4.6L V8.
The Stag motor was a problem child, that is not a suitable candidate for
conversion projects. The Rover engine is the one that is popular for MGB
conversions.
The confusion gets worse, as the Rover V8 makes a dandy conversion
engine in the Stag bay. Or is that Stag at bay?
The Stag transmission is similar to a Triumph TR6, so again not much
use to an MG owner.
