Hey everyone..Im new to the V8 world im 42 and after spending many years tinkering with the R5 GT Turbos...i moved onto the Jap stuff owning RX7s and a few big power supras the last one being just over 800 BHP...then i got a bit sick of it all and spent 12 months in a restored Droop Snoot firenza as a daily driver and got the retro/classic bug...a couple of years ago i saved an 1980 MGB GT from a trip to the scrap yard and left it sitting under a cover on my drive...a few months ago i came up with a plan for a 3.9 V8 conversion and have been collecting parts ever since.. im gona use the LT77 Gearbox which i have along with the remote BUT CAN I HELL FIND A BLOODY SD1 V8 BELLHOUSING!!! got a post in wanted section
..ok so the car has a webasto sunroof which i hate and it needs recovered so due to the shape of the GT roof iv got hold of a good roof with no hole in and im cutting the roof off and welding the one with no sunroof in...iv got a full sebring kit to put on..2 door skins..a wing..and whatever else i find..iv got hold of some 14" weller wheels that i have had banded out to 9" to fill arches...i can do all this while searching for the bellhousing etc...im keeping the engine standard with RV8 manifolds also keeping the efi on...just bought a mgc style bonnet to..i will get some pics up soon as poss but just enjoying getting my hands dirty again
