Without the pollution stuff on the '68-on heads, they seem to hold up just as well as the earlier heads. Part of the apparent problem of a cyl head shortage relative to blocks is that most blocks su

You'll need the MGA rear engine plate, MGA starter, and MGA clutch/flywheel - unless you modify the MGA clutch release lever, etc. for the MGB clutch. I can't remember if the B flywheel will fit the

Yes, the later speedos were finally rationalized. I am more interested in the early speedos. And the Midget speedos have different tpm numbers than the MGB versions, although they look similar.

Bill is definitely correct in that a V6 is ideal for these cars. A number of years ago I put a '85 Camaro 2.8 V6 (145 bhp) into my MGA coupe and it worked EXCELLENT. I used the automatic-OD because t

Don't do it. To do so is a definite death-wish. The main draw-back is that extended reversing WILL eventually unscrew the hub-nuts when they are on their proper side - they tighten (or keep tight) d

Yes, it is nearly all there and it is owned by Micheal Eaton, but it needs a complete rebuild. Thus the starting bid of $7,500. It is not really that low a starting point, but it is reasonable. Dave
