[QUOTE="boggysv, post: 925913, member: 4918"] I'm not exactly a "classic car" person...but my neighbour is He once introduced me to a miura owner...sat in the car and I wet my pants on the spot. ok, back to main topic. I had a talk with him about this topic just now, and this is all I can remember V8 IS THE WAY TO GO...ONLY THE V8 IS THE OPTIMAL CHOICE...V8V8V8V8....NOTHING BEATS THE ROVER V8 IN COMPABILITY.....V6 ARE FOR WUSSIES..... 1) the rover(either from rover, land rover, or range rover) 3.5 V8 is one of the most popular/simple choice, I believe you dont have to worry about roadtax due to the classic car tax exemption? He said:"If that lad has to ask , he will find himself in a puddle of shit if he goes for the 3.9 and above engines.(has EFI, better emmission and FC, but you are not gonna drive it everyday, right?)" Engine mountings may be "similar" , but things such as pumps cranks and wirings will make it very very susah. The car would be "drivable" after the engine conversion, but not complete...lots more to be done. 2) Induction/Electrical systems are a PITA. 3)Heat problems..especially in malaysia. 4)..our conversation steered off to women and other stuffs due to the booze...sorry dude he sent me these few pages, but I'm too dammed lazy to read. enjoy yourself. http://www.mgcars.org.uk/mgb.html#MGBGT http://www.mgcars.org.uk/v8_conversions/rogv8.html http://www.mgcars.org.uk/pdf/v8_mgb.pdf [/QUOTE]
