      • Lightweight MGB with a roof?



        My friend had a regular MG convertible, with the little motor that was stock. Severely underpowered but still just a blast to drive minus the lucas electronics.

        And I have seen people put 302's and Small aluminum buick motors in these I bet they are a blast to drive.

            • One more option. Sunbeam Tiger. Comes complete with a small ford V8 already installed.

              • MG GTs are the balls. I really want to own one someday. Would be the perfect home for a little 2.0L Ecoboost crate motor!
                That which you manifest is before you.

                • I had not thought of an ecoboost in one. That would be awesome. Kinda passes the cheap, but a nice GT passes that too.

                  • Stick in a duratec with a turbo on it. Or wait until the 2.0 ecoboost starts piling up in the JYs. My bet is that they won't be a hot item. Ford wants $8k for one as a crate.

                    • Some late production MGB-GT's came from the factory with V8's-Buick/Rover 215.
