There is a chap here in Canada that has a few (10 - think)
MGCs. Personally I have always been wary of the heavy lump in the
front. I cannot see how one could avoid the problems associated with this
lump - But some people love them (but then some people like all sorts of
weird cars). If one wants more oomph under the MGB hood then the Rover V8
takes the biscuit. It weighs the same as the 1.8L lump and that cannot be
bettered.
