The only thing you can do is swap the old 4speed tranny for one with an overdrive. Don't bother asking if you can add an; /html/mgs/2000-12/msg00019.html (7,519 bytes)

I drive my MGA at 70-75 mph with the revs @ 3700 and have had no problems, not even one breakdown in the @7k miles put on this year.

I broke my 72 B in new when the speed limits were 70-75 in Oregon. The usual speed in those days was a tad under 15 over the speed lim; /html/mgs/2000-12/msg00024.html (8,613 bytes)

It seems like a lot of activity under the hood - but without a lot of sound insulation (especially with the hood up (not that I ever put it up!)) it sounds wo; /html/mgs/2000-12/msg00027.html (8,057 bytes)
