My 1978 MGB
This is the picture of the car before I started my V8 Conversion.
The car has a 1963 Buick 215 V8 and a 1989 WC GM T5 five speed from a camaro.
Car runs very nice and very fast. Problem with the tranny though. Grinds in and out of 3rd gear. What a bummer. Will need to pull engine and tranny out and have the tranny rebuilt.
The image on the left is of the custom radiator to help keep the car cool in this West Texas weather. The picture on the right shows what a tight fit this engine is.
Left picture shows how close the header sits to the fender well. Right Picture is of the oil pan.
Will post more pics when I pull the drive train again to have the tranny rebuilt. If anyone needs a pic of any specific area or part, let me know and I will see about posting it.
