    Years ago a friend of mine had a MGBGT with an Oldsmobile 217, aluminum, supercharged V8. A real sleeper that still drove like a sports care because the engine was slightly lighter than the cast iron 4.

    COO-ELL! Nice work. B.T.W. The Ford 351 Windsor is a wonderful Domestic Legacy V-8 Engine. Pretty much a large 289. And we all know the legend of the 289 through the years! Reliable and powerful for its size.

    This is much nicer than most hot rods and a lot of thinking, design and fabrication went into this build. Just imagine what an aluminum block and heads would do for the weight and handling in this mid engine car.

    My first car when I was a junior(11th grade)in high school was a 1964 MGB roadster that I bought for $600. The red paint was completely oxidized, the synchro on second gear was blown(learned to double-clutch the 3rd to 2nd downshift), and it steered like a truck.
    However, I'm a Ford fan and my second car was a 1964.5 289 4-speed, 4-bbl Mustang coupe. So seeing this just gives me all kinds of feel goods.
    Oh and my current car is a 1991 Mazda Miata that as of watching this video is now gonna get a V-8😊

    I really love it!!! When I was working for British Miles in Morrisville PA in the early 90’s. I always had a dream of doing up something like this. One day a Sunbeam Alpine came in and I almost bought it to put a 351 CJ Cleveland C6 trans and a 9 inch Ford 3:50-1 traction lock I had laying around but then I had a really bad car accident and broke my neck and crushed two vertebrae in my T-Spine and that was the end for me… Spent over 5 years in physical therapy… A really beautiful job well done…

    There are two fixes for the ignition control module on the Duraspark electronic ignition control module. First is that these control units fail in hot environments. For most of the US moving the module out of the engine compartment, near the radiator will help keep it cool and last longer. I had one in a Mustang II that would heat up and stop working. I kept a cup of ice water in the car to pour on the module when it failed, cooling it down for the remainder of the trip. the best thing I found was to replace it with a module made by Sorensen. Their units were much more robust and I never had one come back during 20 years in the Auto Parts industry. When I finally saved up to replace the module in my Mustang II I mounted it on the radiator cross member out side of the engine compartment and had no further problems. The car was still a pile of shit, but it ran consistently after that.

      @@section8motorpool466 ​ @section8motorpool466 Yup, lots of the same influences and experiences growing up in the '60s, '70s, and to a certain extent the '80s (however, even today I don't especially view myself as a "Grown-up").
      A couple close friends had MGB's that we'd done various mods too, however nothing to compare to the blood, sweat, tears and time you have into your little beauty.
      All I remember is that back in High School a close friend had a late '60s MG with the little 4 cylinder, and even with only that small engine the car's small size would make driving anywhere from exciting to terrifying (in a good way).
      You've really kind of "Cobra-ized" your MG in the most beautiful of ways.
      Yes to the mud, I live in Northern Michigan, far off the beaten path, the beauty of living in a deep rural setting is always a love/hate trade off (but still my first/best choice).

    Nice build. It's worth noting that you did the suspension right. Many don't realize the Windsor V8 is a heavier engine than the 1800 and stuffing them in without redoing the suspension it can cause handling issues. One reason the MGC didn't sell well.

    Great work, I like your style. My Uncle had a BRG '64 MGB, I've always liked them. For a while I have been thinking about buying a ln MGBGT from a local junkyard or one of the derelict MGB roadsters my neighbor has. A friend of mine is a huge Buick V8 nut named Dallas Brown(MrRodders Neighborhood channel) he owns the AHRA, I saw a mean build he did, we spent a lot of time talking about the amazing potential and the various attributes of small Buicks so, I was thinking of either doing a Rover 4.6, a stroker 300 or 340 with aluminum heads and intake or a Buick 350. However, I have a '97 351w roller engine in my front yard from an F250 that go wrecked, seems like that's working quite well for you, I am surprised you didn't go with Aluminum heads to save the weight, however I can understand using the iron since the cheaper aluminum heads might not be the best quality and most are very small chamber, require a dished piston and you really don't need to go too crazy with the power, it's such a light car. I don't think I caught what the trans and rear are that you used. It looks like an auto and an IRS. Is it a Jag rear or 8.8 Ford? It's really cool you did the one piece hood, I had been thinking that would be the way to do it, it's really cool to see you did it that way. It's very refreshing to see a guy use his mind, figure out interesting solutions that work and make it happen than just doing things with pure money. $6,000 all in is totally achievable for a regular guy over a periord of a few years, of course these days new car parts have gone crazy since 2020. I am very glad your video popped up randomly in my feed, you earned a sub for sure. I like your XJ6 too, very cool. Can't wait to see more cool stuff you do.

    Why did you use a windsor block vs the short deck 302? Arent 302s easier to fit? Lighter too.

      Not hardly heavier and this method makes fitting very simple, plus this can be bored and stroked to 430 cid no problem.

    Did you require an engineer to certify the car as safe for registration and legal road use after you'd finished reconstructing the MGB. Either way a fascinating build.

      It's not Australia, if you build a pre-emissions regulation car in most of the USA there is no questions as long as it has basic working safety equipment, lights and a horn.
