My 57 has a '69 5 main B engine, bored .060 over, balanced, HS6
carbs, and a ceramic coated header. The only other engine I would
have considered is a Rover V8, mostly because I wanted to keep
everything MG, if not the exact year the car was made. But I do have
a friend who has a Ford 4 in a B. Should be a nice package-they
worked well in formula Fords and a few Morgans I know.
