MGB GT V8 project

[aussiebj]

Ok I finally settled on a project for myself.. I just picked up a 70 MGB GT that I will install my 302 and T5 tranny in with a disc brake ford 8.8 rear end in as well ...It should be a fun little ride... exterior wise I will install a Sebring body kit complete .. big wide rims and tires.. and low to the ground .. inside a full fabricated roll cage with racing seats and 5 point harnesses .. This will see plenty of track time..Pics on the way

Very very cool! The ultimate go cart on sterroids.
Be sure and post lots of pics!

I always wanted a Sunbeam Tiger with a built V8 and 5speed.

That MG look's just like one that a guy I know named Phil had.He sold and built a Buick V8 powered MG race car.Cool.

Before I had the opportunity to buy the Javelin I have now I was planning to build an MGB GT V8 much like what you were talking about.
Can't wait to see more.

That is going to be an awesome project! A few years ago, I dropped a small block ford V8 with an automatic in an early model TR6. What a ride! You are going to have fun with your project. Keep us posted on the build. I would love to see the finished car.

Ok here is the starting point my 70 MGB GT in all its glory

Years ago, I used to have a 69 MGBGT. Loved the car, hated the motor. I thought of someday doing a project like this, but it was way above my mechanical ablities for the time. Please post your progress!
