Hi All,
It's foggy and dreary today in the the land of Sunshine. I wish you
folks back East would reconsider and send our good weather back.
On with my subject, I haven't been able to sell my A Coupe. I was
thinking of putting a "Gasp" non-original engine. I would post it to
the MG list, but the last time I mentioned something non-original to
them I received hate mail for weeks and started a war on the list that
still battles today. I still get some dissapproving looks at the shows
with Puddles because of the non original color I used on her. Can you
imagine the looks I'll get with a Full blown MGA V8 Coupe, Ye Gads LOL.
The MGA has a tiny engine compartment like the Sprite. If it will fit
in a Spridget it will fit in her. I believe I saw a nissan twin cam in
a Sprite at the Monterey meet last year. Anyone on the list ever use
it? The engine will need at least 150 hp to push the car down the
freeway. I was considering a MGB engine but it just doesn't have enough
get-up and go.
TIA
Rick
