I know you wont believe this Rich!
But I'm still running my stock Salisbury 1975 MGB V8 axle with secondhand 1800 MGB half shafts. Ratio is 3.07:1
I used to have a Phantom Grip diff locker. But I trashed it at North Weald last year when the pinion pin sheered off and caused mayhem in the diff casing.
So I took that locker out and just welded those cogs together to make a sort of home brewed spool.
My engine is all stock too. Apart from the Blower Cam I got from Real Steel 4 years ago. The engine is a 90,000 mile Rangie 4.6 lump. I honed the bores at home and put all new bearings and shells in.
I have broken a few pistons in the last 12 months though. The stock cast pistons dont like too much gas
I think the best upgrade was the 26" rear tyres which helped me get my top end 1/4 mile rpkm down to a sensible level. My engine makes its best torque around 4000rpm. But I'm crossing the line at 5000 rpm. So I still need some more gears really. She is quick off the line though

Tricky, my axle is a 2.85 ratio with a quaife lsd. The axle is located by an 'A' frame under the diff housing to lower the roll centre. Trailing links are above the axle and go rearwards. It's got Leda coilovers. Car corners like a dream and I'll do the same configuration when I fit the ford axle.
Up front I have wishbones and the car doesn't have any roll bars.
