New Addition to the MG Photo Gallery (Lots of in-process pics!)
Mike Alexander's second MGB-V8 conversion sets a very high standard in all respects, including how well he documented his process in photos!
Here's the link: Mike Alexander's 2nd MGB: Rotisserie Restoration and Shiny New Aluminum V8 (68 photos) Application of epoxy primer. Buick 215 with Rover 4.0 cylinder heads. Note special rocker shaft supporting towers. |

Okay, it's clearly a Rover head. Did he drill 'em out & use the lower row of head bolts or did he put dummy bolt heads on for the stock look?
