Jim, I took the V6 modifications discussion here because it started to sound like a conversation between you and I and I didn't want to clutter the 'Modified' forum with chatter.
As you might recall, I have a Bronco II 2.8 long block and I have a 4.0 crankshaft. I've started the search for a Mustang 4.0 bell housing, HTOB, and block plate.
I have a 75 V6 that's close to done, so this other engine is going to be a labor of love as opposed to trying to get the danged vehicle back on the road.
I have some new rocker arm assemblies for the V6. There's an outfit in NorCal that will rebuild the assemblies with an offset to increase the rocker ratio. The 2.8 V6 has 2.9 valves and have been pocket ported and I'll swap those over to the stroker engine when the time comes.
Regarding that Buick 300 build, that's a very cool option for the MGB. The engine will fit like the 215 and you'll get about 5.6 liters. A max effort Rover V8 is about 4.9 - 5.0 liters, nice but the extra 36 cubic inches are nicer still. I happen to have a 340/350 crank in my collection of spares. I had a chance to get a 64 300 recently but has to resist that temptation. The price was about $300 or $400 for the entire car. Too many projects already. I still have an MGB that in inside storage in Boise, but I also have an Olds 215 ready to go into that project.
