This shows how Peter van de Velde in Holland built his MGB V8: [www.britishv8.org]

Here's a teaser photo - check out this handsomely polished intake manifold!

Lots of other interesting details too... Notice that Peter built an especially nifty car rotisserie:

totally agree... except the engine bays of V8 B's is starting to look like the cars rolling off current model production cars -- hard to find the motor among all the "stuff".

Still, that one looks great & can't wait to read the details!
