At my local 'ship there is a T series MG with a big engine
conversion.
It's been so long since I have seen it I forget whether
it was a TC or a TD, but the engine was a Jag XK engine.
An ENORMOUS lump, but an incredible engine and at least
it's british.
The conversion looked very high quality but it sat at
the shop for years so I suspect the driveability wasn't
what the original owner had hoped.
