I'm thinking that you should go with a 3.4 liter chevy V6. Cheap to find, the V6 guru is in your MG club and it will slide in with minimal modifications. The engine would be a 60%-100% increase in power. That is what I am thinking of for my 66. Either way, good luck and take lots of pics and video. Cheers, J
