77 MGB V6 $11K

After driving this for the summer I have decided it just is not my kind of car.  Bought in April, non running but basically finished LZ9 swap.  Limited documentation but from what I did get it is a pontiac G6 motor, unknown origin T5 car.  Was taken to bare shell, painted inside and out in 97 Miata Highland Green.  A very dark green, almost black, with a metalflake only visible in direct sunlight.  Body has welded flares, rubber bumpers off and lights flush mounted in the body.  Gas filler is in the fender.  Back to the car.  EFI is an OBD1 with a custom tune, aluminum radiator, complete rewire.  Chassis and engine.  Suspension is much stiffer and seems to have a lot of poly bushings.  Wilwood master and front brakes, rear stock drums with a wilwood proportioning valve.  I think the sway bars are bigger than stock.  Wheels are 15 and 16 with Azenis, needed the sticky to keep the rears from breaking loose.  Still does in first and second if pushed.  All new gages, speedo is GPS.  The swap bits are from Killer B, a NLA company that made a custom CNC aluminum front mount, headers and trans mount.  Aftermarket aluminum fuel tank with flaky gage sender.

Now for some of the issues.  Car was stored outside under a cheap cover for years, paint shows the damage but I think it can be cleaned up.  Some paint damage may need more than a sand/compound.  Rear window on top is gone and the top is off as I would never drive this in the rain.  Something is up with the lifters, they are noisy and have .010 to .015 lash.  Which is wierd because I think they are hydraulic.  Have driven it this way for 1500 miles with no damage or metal in the oil so I think the issue is not a big deal.  Voltmeter reads 15.5V, I think some ground wires need to be looked at.  

I am putting it out to the GRM world for $11k.  I intended to spend the winter fixing the stuff then sell in the spring for mid teens.  But maybe someone who wants a sick fast MG would like to buy it now as is.  If a MG with over 250 HP that weighs 2300 pounds appeals to you this is a basically finished project.  I have never said this about a car but it just plain scares me, maybe your scare level is higher than mine!

I am interested in this MGB. Is this still available? I have been looking for a V6 MGB for a bit and was hoping you could send some more pictures. I found this post with a Google search and just signed up to message you but it won't let me due to being a new account. 

I came very close to buying this kit for my MGB GT. Wayne was quite proud of the engineering that went into it at the time since it was based on the FWD engines rather than the RWD versions.

What I REALLY like is the Rolls parked next to the MG.  I have always wanted to Hot Rod one of those and imagine it with some kind of chassis-swap, 6l Ls and a couple of turbos. Nothing drastic, just a bit more Pupon.

Sent you a PM, but if there is a problem with it use my email, hdforge.at.aol.com

I don't even see a place to see your PM. I have to get approved by a moderator before I get that functionality I guess.... I will email you.

There's no specific PM function on this board. Under a member profile you can click "contact", and it sends to the registered email address. It can come in looking a little spammy sometimes. 

Thanks. I was able to find the PM email in my spam folder. 

Do you have more photos of the engine bay available?  Especially of the motor mounts and accessories and the quality of the fab work done?

Install was done via a NLA company called KillerB.  CNC aluminum engine mount, trans is a welded crossbar.  Install was done pretty well, some wiring stuff not up to my standards.  A ton of money was spent on the conversion, all new rubber seals, carpets, gages, etc.  Bad news is I started fixing the issues it dies have and the price is no longer valid.  But if you are interested I PMed you my email address and can send shots of the car during the build process.  Message me a phone number and we can also talk.
