Perhaps you mean the MGC available as a GT(hardtop) or Roadster(Convertible) which came with a straight six? I have not seen a 60s-70s Midget with a 6 cylinder before. Regards, Hal Rogers H.D. Rogers

Funny you mentioned Ford V6, I had though about putting a 3.8L V6 in one of mine, just to see if it could be done. But I would have probably gone with the Buick, this way the distributor cap could be
