Welcome aboard. Sounds like you have a good setup going there. Most of
the conversions I have seen are 3.5/215 engines with carburators.
The problem with this little power game we are playing with our MGs is
that there is always going to be someone in front of you. I started my
conversion because I wanted to smoke the locale Miata driver, but now I
gotta consider you 3.9L guys! Hmmm.
Larry Hoy, Denver, CO USA (still looking for a Buick bell housing)
1969 MGB Roadster (one half of a V8)
1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas
It's not how fast you go, it's how fast you go fast.
