I've added some pictures of the Independant Rear Suspension (IRS) that
is on the '67 MGB GT, that I got last weekend, to the bottom of the web
page. The pictures show a little how the Corvair transaxle is mounted.
The car still has the stock gas tank; however, the centers of the
battery boxes were cut out and the fuel pump was relocated. I bet there
are not a whole lot of IRS equipped MGBs out there - the amazing thing
is you cant tell from the outside - unless you look underneath. I've
also added a few shots of how the drive shaft comes off of the back of
the engine, where the guy rigged the a clutch housing, before going back
to the transaxle. The car has a mechanical clutch (and dual brake
master cylinders). I took these pictures while laying on the ground
under the car, some day I will get it on a lift with better ones. Here
