Hi gang,
A few weeks ago there was a thread about putting a Ford 302 with aluminum
heads in an MGB. Only 66 # heavier than the BOP / Rover V8. I mentioned it
in our local club newsletter, and I've got somebody interested in it. Can
someone give me a name and number for someone who has done it or is thinking
about doing it ? It would be nice if it was in the New Jersey area so he
could go and see the job, but a contact would be great.
Thanks,
Rick Huber
