1. MGB engine dies, V6 seems likely. (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 20:19:29 -0400; Well, my engine seems to have given up the ghost. I now have fog-machine available just by dipping the throttle. Combine that with compression figures of 120/80/20/105 and I say "bad". Oiled figures; /html/mgs/1998-09/msg01526.html (8,224 bytes)

A nice two litre B-series engine is STILL just the ticket to a rip snorting MGB. Even a 1800 cc but very well built engine can be wicked fast. Converting to V6 or V8 i; /html/mgs/1998-09/msg01531.html (8,623 bytes)

Yours isn't the first response that mentioned getting horsepower from tuning. However, you can get horsepower from tuning most any engine.

4. Re: MGB engine dies, V6 seems likely. (score: 1): Author: gofastmg@juno.com (Rick Morrison); Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 23:09:04 EDT; That depends on which V-6/V-8 engine you choose. A complete engine rebuild "kit" for a Rover V8 (1980 SD1) set us back a whopping $625. That included everything from pistons/rings, bearings, gaskets,; /html/mgs/1998-09/msg01537.html (10,001 bytes)
5. Re: MGB engine dies, V6 seems likely. (score: 1): Author: Mark Snowdon <racer45@bellsouth.net>; Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 23:59:09 -0700; Overheard recently..." However, the 2.8L V6 engine in question can be junkyarded from 80s camaros. These are cars that are very often crashed, and getting a low mileage one is quite possible.

(score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 01:43:31 -0400; Plentiful might not be the right word, but would I be off base in saying they are a lot more common than 215ci Rover/Buick engines? I suspect that rebuilding the V6 would be cheaper than the Rover/Bu; /html/mgs/1998-09/msg01547.html (8,436 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Art Pfenninger <ch155@freenet.buffalo.edu>; Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 06:58:31 -0400 (EDT); There is a place in Dallas Tx that sells a kit for $695. I have no idea if it is any good. I called John's Jaguar and they faxed me some information about it. They don't sell the kit they just have t; /html/mgs/1998-09/msg01549.html (9,049 bytes)
8. Re: MGB engine dies, V6 seems likely. (score: 1): Author: gofastmg@juno.com (Rick Morrison); Date: Tue, 29 Sep 1998 22:11:24 EDT; I think the point Mark was making was that the 2.8L V6 is a dog. Their longevity prospects never were bright. During my sentence in the local Pontiac/GMC dealership, that particular engine caused us; /html/mgs/1998-09/msg01606.html (9,343 bytes)

I wrote about my MGA 2.8 litre V6 coupe sometime in the past year. It is even easier to do with a MGB. If you want the easiest job, then go with a carb version with 5-speed.
