- This is long. Sorry. Here's the rub: A local business just off the interstate always seems to have their rear garage door open when I drive by. They also have an MGB siting in said doorway. I had bee

- My 2 penn'orth. It would be sacrilege to cut up a 63, only slightly less so a 68. At the end of the day it all depends on what the 68 means to you. Personally I wouldn't trade my car (the year is imm

- I know the body work is daunting but if you can swing the trade I would do it. You will really like the 63 better performance and vintage feel wise. I sense his plans will end up in a stalled resto d

- Boy, I would hate to see anything like this done to an early pull-handle car. I think there is cutting needed to do engine swaps on the early cars, which means that any change like this is essentiall

- Gang, I agree with Dan. After having done some research on a Camaro V6 conversion, the CBB would require irreversible cutting on the frame and firewall. That's why I decided against in on my '68. On

- Interesting quandary. Taking the engine and tranny as a unit would certainly work, with the usual futzing about with electrics and plumbing connections. Mixing and matching Mk. I and Mk. II engines a

- Well, my preaching paid off (sort of). Todd told me today that last night he convinced his wife to learn to drive a standard (something I can't convince my wife). That means he's going to do the car
