So does the MGB fit in your garage?

I also would like to see the car at Carlisle.  There are two of us here in Florida who are considering pulling our cars to Carlisle.  Please let us know when you get information.  Thanks.

Car was still running rough, so I took carb to an expert on Holley carbs and he rebuilt it and changed jets.  Also set timing by hand rotating engine to proper location.  Car is running much better now, has quite a bit of power.  Still a little hesitation at higher RPMs, maybe needs larger jets?  Anyway, it is time to really start using the car.

Thanks for this forum.  It is good to know that all affected are OK.

Oil cooler was one I have had for about 30 years.  It measures 15″x8″.  It may be Moroso.  Fan is Spal 11 inch medium profile pull style cooling fan, VA26-AP50CWP-44A (item 30101512)

Worked on carb and seems much better.  Then decided to change distributor to HEI.  That is now installed.  But no test drive because I had a few minutes available and removed heater.  So now I have holes in firewall that need to be covered.  I also have a lot of space where heater used to be.  Am thinking of putting the radiator overflow tank…[Read more]

My engine would overheat just sitting in the driveway running (with hood on).  I believe it was a weak pusher fan that just could not handle the heat.  So I got a Spal puller fan, changed to 160 degree thermostat, and added an oil cooler.  The car now runs at about 165-170 sitting in the driveway. with the hood off.  Due to some medical issu…[Read more]

Finally got my new puller fan.  So, installed 160 thermostat, added an oil cooler, and installed puller fan.  Running out side garage, temperature stays at 175 degrees, but with top hood off.  Due to some carb problems, I have not been able to test on the open road.  If temp rises much with hood on, I think I’ll add top vents.  Not sure I can cut…[Read more]

114 in a box sounds fantastic.  What was a typical finish speed before the V8?

Heated seats???  I want air conditioning.

So sorry to see what happened.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Great for refreshment during those long boring hill climbs.

Original side panels would be a great solution.  But my BCW hood is 3 inches longer than an original.  I think I can use a router to cut the openings in the side panels.

Well almost.  Engine is overheating.  Need to find problem.  I put a 12 inch fan as a pusher, but I think it was designed as a puller.  So I am putting a 12 inch puller fan on the engine side.  I could buy a 14 inch fan to cover more of the radiator, but do not want to spend money unless it would make a good bit of difference.  I checked therm…[Read more]

New springs solved steering issue.  New high torque starter solved intermittent starting issue.  New fuel pump solved rough running issue.  Almost had a disaster when top radiator hose came loose on test run.  Bought bottled water at convenience store and everything OK.  Now ready for a test run on Interstate.  Probably have wife follow in her car.

Nice to see that you have the car on the road.  Once you get the kinks worked out, I would be glad to help you with a V6 and 5 speed conversion.

Motor mounts are custom.  Used donut style mounted on a flat plate welded to frame rail.  Then used plate and square tubing from engine to donut. Mount interfered with oil filter so switched to remote filter.  Transmission mount is stock from Camaro.  It just happened fit into the frame cross member that was for the Chevette manual trans.  Fr…[Read more]
