In reply to Mariusz Pretnik. I have a similar engine setup but I used Venoli pistons with a 13:1 compression. MSD box with a variable timing. Not as pretty as yours but I could beat most V8 conversions.

I have a 66 MGB and it’s restored to stock original condition but would love to get power to where yours is, could you please share more details about what have you done to the engine and where yogurt the parts from, I’d really appreciate it.

Very nice, do you have any idea how much power you have? I’ve got a 19151 Ford 2dr. Custom Delux with a stock rebuilt ’53 Mercury motor. Too bad we are so far away I would like to get to meet with you. I live in Georgia.

Very nice job Barry, and on such a “late model” B. I used to have a business in the UK. We restored, serviced, raced “B’s” and race prepped for other customers back in the 80’s. We converted an 79 rubber bumper into a chrome bumper for a customer and did what you did and lowered it. I used to win so many concur, that they banned it – because it was a conversion. I love what you did with the B. Great to see. Enjoy a fun car.

I join one of these last year. Once I said I had a 1980 MGB, and Several air cooled VW’s they were always picking on me about them cars. I also have a 78 Firebird and 74 pickup & 1979 Trike I’m in a wheelchair 100% of the time so the Bird &Pickup is to large for me to wrench on, so the Bird is looking for a new Bird House very soon, motor been blue&local place that’s gone now off old 131 north just before new 131 street to the East starts out tar 2 - 90* curves then to gravel & then I have lost my memory from treatments of MS. 2009 Car Motor Was done 2003 Screen and Tube for oil pump slip off for the last time I can’t wrench any more on her. so Screen is flat on bottom of pan. Anyone knows about the bird and so much extra power it is known to shake enough for the pipe to slide out. Very Bad Habit Some Have Don't Tell Me what I Should Done to it But Young and Hurried & only 3,000 miles on new rebuilt
