Re: I give up!!!

Danny - I reused the Type 9 I'd fitted to the B series...I had a Hi-Gear 5-speed bellhousing which allowed the T9 to mate to the B...and because the Rover T16 has the same crank bolt spacing as the B I could reuse the entire thing, flywheel, clutch the works...just needed a revised backplate.

That sounds like an ideal set up, I bet that that goes well!

I have been tosee Jez's installation adn it is awesome. The engine looks perfect in there. A bit tight in places but it should be amazing. Thanks Jez

V8?, 2.5l twin cam?
I scare myself with a standard MGB engine and box in my Roadster! Anno Domini I suppose

Re: I give up!!!

Ok the die is cast - hummed over the T series for a long while but then found a ford DOHC on ebay complete with Mt75 box. Not the greatest lump in the world but about 130bhp and smooth and reliable - should scare myself enough with that!
