Hi Mark

The MGC transmission is nearly the same as the MGB, they are interchangeable
for the same years, the ratios were originally different but who knows what
might have been done to things during the years.

The Austin Healy 3000 is indeed different. I compared parts lists a while
ago and nothing were the same. I seem to remember that the tappet covers
were identical. So there might be some parts but nothing to count on.
Someone else may know better.

Dmne: [MGS] MGC Info?

We've got an MGC down at the shop that is going to get the
engine rebuilt and the gearbox, with overdrive,  gone through.
Are the MGC transmissions the same as MGB, completely
different or have only some parts in common?

The claim is that the engine is based on the Healey straight 6,
same bore and stroke, but is totally different.  Wonder if any
of the internal bits are the same as Healeys?

Hey, I'm a Triumph guy, what do I know?

mjb.

ps:  I'll probably be switching this list from majordomo
to mailman later this week, so don't be alarmed if some
odd things happen.
