ooops,,, this dam big motha turbo charger fell onto it & hooked itself up :-)

Image

ah well,,, i guess another turbo alloy V8 in the back should help balance out the weight hey???

:-)

ooops,,, dam that would make it 800hp-ish & 4 wheel drive,,, that`d be just silly tho wouldn`t it??? :-)

I only have about 12x spare P76 engines left now :-(

there was a pair of MGBs at Winton several years ago, obviously mates, and they both had V8's in them - really nice cars, looked like they had a ball on the track. One was bright red, the other was burgundy

B's have a nice sized engine bay, you could fit all sorts of things in there. My mate has a customer with a B and an MX5 engine waiting to be brought together in harmony, it's like world peace

In the mid 70's there was a B with a V12 jag engine running around Adelaide. The car was owned by a copper. guess he could make speeding tickets dissapear

The K series was sold in Oz in the MGF. But MGF are not exactly common in wreckers yards.

The MGB only came with a 4 cyl.
The MGC came with a 6 cyl
The MGBGT came with a 4 or a V8 and a roof. :lol:

The MGC is a very different animal to a MGB. The engine bay is totally different.
