that an mgb?

[Vista]

Yes, B Roadster.

[khanlad]

I cant decide? Part of me thinks what a waste of a good engine, the other bits thinks it will be quite fun?

[colr6]

Ah well if the cortina never comes back from painting, I've got an option for my engine.

[katana]

Why not - lots of die hard Ford people fitting Vauxhall XE engines in their Dagenham Dustbins and Duratec's are re-badged Mazda's designed by Yamaha. Now if someone used an MGB engine in a Cortina it would be different!

[irishtorag]

i think perfect good choice for fun.

As a lot of fords have vauxhall engines and honda

why not fit ford engines in other cars, there was a toyota

starlet at reto stock drift day with built by toyota powered by ford

on the rear window and if i remember properly a 240 volvo all cossie

powered up last time

[RWL81P]

i think thats the bollox of a sleeper!

[colr6]

Oh dear, well I've got one of those with nothing in it,

And one of these with no where to go at the mo

Could be a weekend of fun !!

passenger rides???

Its a very neat installation and you cant fault them for that. Was a nice attractive roaster with tractor engines so I totally understand looking afield for more sport and less agriculture. While I think Cossies should go into old Fords I have to go with the owner on this, he did make his MGB more cool.

[RWL81P]

any more pics? was trying to see how he's swapped the alternator to the opposite side.

Would imagine with some rather large brackets.

It is a proper sleeper, a shock for someone thinking they're taking on an asthmatic B series!

 

[colr6]

Looking at the pics it's been a bit more than just an engine swap, tidy job

[accord83]

For a convertible Austin Cambridge I think it's brilliant, now get rid of the body and fit a Corsair shell on to it and I'd get all horny.

[HotRodMatt]

No complaints from me.

[aardvark101]

Yeah, whatever, MGB driver still wont wave back at ya when you flash them 

[RWL81P]

cracking bit of kit that! and on chrome bumpers too, not those crappy rubber ones

Indeed, T5 box and Sierra IRS too.

[chinkamon]

They can't be that expensive can they? Every1 knows they were shit when they were new so that makes perfect sense to me!!

I used to be into hotrods an a guy had a sit up an bed ford pop an stuck some whacking great big diesel v8 turbo monster in it!! Was clever an wen u sit back an think about it.... it makes an originally poor performing car great to use!

Can't argue with that

[BaileyMex]

It kind of reminds me of one when I was a kid in Mitcham.

It was matt black, slammed and loud as f##k.

No idea what it was running but it was quick and was driven hard!!!

 

Fair play I say

[deltamal]

I wonder what the MGB purists make of it!   it must surprise a few,.....
