Description of 1974 MG MGB

This is an unfinished project which I just don’t have the time to finish. Unfortunately I need to simplify my load and would like to hand this off to another hobbyist. I wanted to make it a cool fast roadster.

The short story:

  • ·I received the car with a 2.6 Ford driver train from the previous owner.
  • ·A connecting rod bearing went and took the bore with it.
  • ·I had a spare Chevy 4.3 engine, 5-speed NV3500 tranny, and 7 5/8 rear end.I mounted the drivetrain with a custom drive shaft.This is the last I did for the project.

The main items to finish the project:

  • ·Install pedal setup
  • ·Make a firewall
  • ·Create exhaust system
  • ·Install brake lines and electrical

There are a number of new parts I have in new condition including Accel ignition, radiator, holley double pumper 4bbl(rebuilt), Eldbrock 4bbl intake, drive shaft w/ujoints, starter, clutch kit/cylinder.

The body is okay- nothing major wrong, has a new convertible top, - will not be a show car.

Again, this is a project for hobbyist. It is all sold as a set-I will not sell individual parts. I am quite busy, but can make time for interested parties. I really want the free space back in my garage, as well as a few bucks.

Ask questions- I try to respond in a timely manner.
