This is a message specifically to the owners of Rubber Bumper MGBs. How much interest would you have in a 50% increase in horsepower that would cost somewhere around the 3 grand range? I'm having an

My question is, does this apply to CBBs as well? If not, why not, unless it's a V8/V6 swap, which doesn't sound like $3K. Or is it just that it would only provide a 10% power increase for a CBB? <g>

Kelvin - the RBB are basically very poor excuses for MGs - I call them Austin Marina convertibles. For 3K, you could go out and buy an early CBB and use the money you get from selling the RBB to rest
