Hi,
I'm thinking of someday doing a GT with a Rover V8. I've read some info
on the conversion process and understand that the only the rubber
bumpered cars will accept the V8 without a fair amount of conversion
work to the engine compartment.
My guess is that the rubber bumpered GT's are about the least sought
after MGB's there are, so it may be a good economics. The problem is
that I don't like the appearance of the rubber bumpers.
How hard is it to back date one of these cars and install an old style
grille and (maybe) bumpers?
How hard is it to lower these cars to the pre-rubber ride height? I
hear they do this a lot in the UK.
I'd appreciate any suggestions about all of this.
Thanks.
Glen
