Greetings from Cleveland, where life, as we know it, is grand. The orange barrels are sprouting, the Tribe is fast on its way to the basement, and the Browns squandered their draft pick....but I digress. Just curious: Like the VolV8 for the 240 series, does anyone offer a really top notch engine conversion for the 120 series. Was at the local MG club meet the other day and saw a BEAUTIFUL V8 conversion in an MGB. 215 c.i. Olds/Buick aluminum engine, Rover/Triumph Stag 5-speed, plumbed up really nicely, and when all was said and done, replacing the 1.8 iron 4cylinder with the V8 took 70# off of the total weight of the 'B'. It got me to thinking....what about a bolt-in V8 similar to that, or, better yet how about a modern V6...like a 60 degree 3.8 or 4.0 litre from GM, or a similar Ford? Just wondering...anything out there? Not that I'd do it to the car I have, but if something else came along.....
