Hello Phil,
Would love to join but Texas is a long way to go when one is 86 and no
longer a cowboy driver !!! Over a decade ago I built an MGB GT V8 from
bits as there were none around to buy. I had the "normal" GT as well as
the convertible but neither could cope with 100km highways, and trucks
were frightening to pass with the asthmatic 4 pot.  The rebuilt 3.5L
engine came from the UK with HC pistons an a mild cam plus other stuff.Â
It now puts out a modest 240bhp (maybe more) with Webers plus suspension
mods - and frankly I have never had the guts to test it out !!! Having
had a motley of Italian, German and British cars I find the MGB GT V8
the best of the lot - even over my Maserati !!!!!!
All the best for the New Year
Barrie

I have a â??73 Factory V8 and have had 4 GT over the years. No comparison
between the 4 and 8 cylinder engines. The 139 hp is all you need in the car as
far as I believe you need. We have several MGs in our club with much larger
Rover engines.
You should join the Texas MG Register. We had our Fall meet in Katy this past
October. 75 cars were there along with John Twist. Fall meet in May in the
Austin area
