[Mgs] OD Query

[WSpohn4 at aol.com]

Quite right, Kelvin - pay attention to what I meant, not what I said (hard  
to think with screaming clients and phones ringing off the hook)!
 
The other (easier) way to deal with sticking a later trans meant for a 5  
main onto a 3 main engine is just to pop the input shaft out and get it turned  
down. Done that a few times for the MGA race car when running the pushrod  
motors.
 
As for tunnel interference, I was taking the word of the MGB guys who  always 
swear that the tunnel was modified on the late cars to clear that trans.  
Apparently not! I guess any mods were done to standardise for the V8  
installation and didn't involve the tunnel?

As Bill  stated. You need the late flywheel, engine back plate and
starter. If you  have a 3M it won't work unless you get the back of the
crank drilled out. I  think Bill was thinking the other way  around.
