New HIWD: Bill Gaulin's 1974 MGB with Chevy LS1 V8

It's a sure bet we'll see more and more LSx conversions around here. Now the record will show Bill Gaulin was one of the pioneers. Bill completed his swap in April 2013 and he's already put ~15,000 miles on it! Evidently, miles pass by quickly in an LS1 powered MGB.

An LS is what I'd be doing if I started again! Keep 'em coming!

Looks great Bill!

Any chance you could make it to Indy next July? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see your car in person.
