MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - 3.8 V6 90* swap in post-1976 MGB

Hello Gents- Just taking a pulse to see if there are newbies silently struggling with the swap to a 90 degree V6. As of this writing there's me and a guy in Georgia. Merry Christmas to all. Cheerios, VEM

Vern, which 90* V6 do you have? the buick or sbc derivitive?

Vern, I've seen a couple of questions about using this engine, but don't know of any "in the works" right now. You might try posting on the British V8 forum and see if you find anyone there. http://forum.britishv8.org/

Hello Vem,

Very simple all 90 deg. engine are always more complicated to swap in a British car. Most popular swaps are V6 60 deg like 2.8 GM or 2.9 Ford or Jap. You could have a EFI engine with a decent 150 HP without having to modify intensively your B.

Cheers,
