Would like to keep the motor if I'm not selling the car, just in case. I was offering it up as bait.

The difference between mine and any other Midget you're going to find is the body kit, which you either love or hate. It drops a few pounds from the car (maybe 100-150) but if the styling doesn't work for you the it just doesn't.

Check out the Midget for sale add in the classifieds for maybe a offer you can't refuse?

I have three Midgets for sale for $750 in the Classifieds. They would be great for this type of project and you could make a lot of money back selling parts.

I looked for your Midgets but didn't see then. Maybe I over looked them. Do you have a link?

This is them: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/200x-classifieds/mg-midgets-for-sale/7070/page1/

They were in the 200x forum here on the board. If they were in the classifieds, they'd be alot easier to find (hint, hint)

The problem would be that I have no way to get them to Moody, AL

How far is that from Huntsville? I am at school there. I might be able to help with transport.

I really Like this swap, and Larry did a great job.

He drove the car from California, to the lake of the Ozarks for our meet in June.

Moody is about 120 miles from Huntsville. Moody is about 20 miles east of Birmingham on I-20.

I had a Bugeye basket case with a Buick/Rover 3.5 V8... not nearly as attractive in real life as it was on paper... and t wasn't all that attractive there.

The trick swap "back in the day" was the 13b Rotary...
