- Do the aluminium cross-flow heads for MGBs live-up to any of their claims? Are they an upgrade, or an expensive placebo? Also, does a 2L engine really do much more than using the +060" pistons for 1

- Grassroot's Motorsports had an article on Mike Pierce's MG in the May 2002 issue. With twin weber DCOE 45's and a cam, headers and such, he's getting 162 HP. It's a 1970 'B. He had baselined it with

- Think of the cross-flow head as the basis for a dramatic change in B series engine potential. Do they live up to any of their claims? It depends on who is writing the marketing blurb, and what your
