I'm no mechanic, but that $3,000 number sounds a bit high. The clutch job
should be a simple DYI. I'm sure someone on the list will comment on
whether or not the engine rebuild is a DYI, but I haven't done one yet so I
don't know.

I just got back from taking the 75 MGB to the mechanic for a pre-buy check.
He concurred with the list that I need to go back to the SU carbs. He also
did a compression test and then a "wet" test which revealed an engine
rebuild
was needed. The compression results were 115, 85, 115, & 95. He also said
a
clutch replacement would be needed. The price tag: $3,000.00.
I think I am going to continue my search for another car, what is your
opinion?
Thanks, (for your patience with a newbie)
