I've seen a couple of conversions to MGA 1600 disc brakes. I had
always figured this would be the hot setup for a road car. My
strategy is to get everything running before I mess with modifying it.
However, I was under the impression that the 1600 discs would bolt on,
requiring a change to the 1600 master cyl and the new brakes and
proportioning valve only. That should be quite an improvement.
I suspect that several of us would be interested in the engine swap
stuff, if for nothing else than something to fantasize about.
