No that wasn't me. I may fly off the handle over some topics (usually about
kids owning LBCs), but not about engine conversions... I admit to cringing
when I know someone has taken a perfectly good B motor out of a car to do an
engine conversion, but it's still person's business. I fully advocate using
drivetrain-less shells for whatever conversion you wish to do... as you
still end up preserving a car.
And if you think your _stock_ 1978 MGB has 95bhp of power, then that British
Leyland salesman really pulled a number on you.
