Thanks Carl. I can't use eBay photos... we'll have to get copyright permission from the owner/seller. I'm up to my eyeballs at the moment. Why don't you e-mail him and suggest that the BritishV8 classified ads would be a better place to sell the car than eBay?

About a week ago, I got this (e-mail) message from Vince Longo:
Quote:
We put an all aluminum LS1-FI / 6 speed in a 78 MGB Roadster and it worked out fantastic. Although a lot of work, it is actually 1 inch shorter than the Rover 215, which we like and put in several B's . But with the LS1, after tweaking on the dyno and computer is close to 400 horses. Will send photos if interested.

I responded that OF COURSE we'd like to see photos, but I haven't received them yet.

Not sure, but it looks like the car Chris Longo built last year.
