Have recently acquired an MGB with 3.4L using Bill Guzmans kit. 390 Holley 4bbl. ~8K miles on fresh rebuild. T5 V8 tranny rebuilt and regeared for smoother op. Very good attention to detail by the builder and the car is very well sorted and runs like a dream. Has a two stage (top up or down) rollbar as mount for windblocker (not good for competition). Everything is tight with many new parts from front end/steering/interior, etc. etc. New seats, carpets including trunk. 15" Minotaur wheels with new tires. Bumpers, wheels and stowaway frame all powder coated same BMW silver as the body. Windshield frame is polished to chrome like finish. Not presented as show car, but I've seen a lot worse go home with the prize. Now if I can quit ignoring my two 4-cyl 'B's....!

Welcome Jim, you'll find us very friendly and not missing the old 4 cyl. lump either. The modified MGB and other Brit Cars make a much more INTENSE driving experience.
