What engine are you running?
After a 6 month hiatus, I'm back as well. 'Ol Smokey is still hanging
in there, waiting patiently. With the birth of my daughter, I figure
I'd better get started w/ the car...
14" rims - I drove a '78 spit at Road Atlanta w/ 14" panasports. So,
it can be done.
6spd - don't know about this, but Rivergate racing makes 5spd
conversions for MG's, maybe they could fab you one. They're on the
web, and advertise in the back of Grassroots Motorsports...
Good luck
