That fellow is really gointg all out.

The suspension look so simple, I'm tempted to try and build similar setup.

If you read down far enough there's a guy sniveling, saying that engine doesn't belong is an MG.... That's funny.

Mid 400 hp?.... Yikes.

The darkside is not limited to Alpines.

Although not a radical, I've got everything to put a Buick 215 CU IN Aluminum block V8 (think Rover 3500) with a 5-speed in my 80 MGB and a Nissan 280ZX 5-speed conversion in my wife's 79 MGB.

MikeH,
The Buick 215 into the MGB has been around a long time, but I have never run across a 280ZX into an MGB before. Kind of building your own MGC?
I'd love to see pictures when you get to it!

Not the whole 280zx set up, just the 5-speed transmission from a non-turbo 280zx. The turbo zx had a T-5. Would be an interesting idea though. The 215 was a factory setup in the MGB-GTs for a while.
