Oh look-a T-bucket. :

Bet that thing's never seen full throttle cause it won't go straight at half throttle. Overdone, flashy, non-funtional, and slow. A waste of perfectly good parts and a perfectly good MGB.

Lose the blower, get the rear axle narrowed to help tuck the tires under the car, and switch out the wheels and tires for something that looks and fits better ... could be a cool ride IMO.

I'm a fan.

I also think that Bob Ida built the greatest "big motor in little furrin car" example of all time with his 392 hemi powered Austin Healey.

The Hemi in that A-H reminds me of a scene in the Movie 'Tommy-Boy': "Fat Guy in a little Coat,Fat Guy in a littleeeee Coaaat" ;D ;D. Meanwhile,somewhere in Tennessee,there's a "Chromosexual" sportin' a major-league 'Stiffy' :o :o ;D ;D!! ~J/W.

Hell, I'd take it.
I'm just not getting a 1320-style vibe from this one, though.....open-road madness is what this one calls for!


Narrow the 9", sort out the front and rear suspension(lose the stinkbug stance)....new rolling stock, stretch/flare the fenders around the wheel openings.

As cool as the blower is, I'd go naturally aspirated....not a hell of a lot of room in there to begin with, would be a clusterfrick trying to stuff a turbo/blower system in.

Yank the 200R4 in favor of a row-yer-own............who cares if it's Bangshift approved(sorry guys)?It's a neat little car with lots of potential.

I like your plan. In the process of doing that I would swap out the wheels for a set of these...
