261. Re: 3 bearing vs. 5 bearing MGB? (score: 1): Author: Phil Bates <jello@ida.net>; Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 23:59:19 -0600; I have a '67 5 main B, and a 58 MGA with a 3 main MGB (1800) motor. I have found that the 3 main is a bit more free revving, so it feels like it has more power. The early 3 main B motors did have pro; /html/mgs/1999-09/msg01390.html (8,329 bytes)

My '67 MGB had a 4 synchro later transmission (non-overdrive) and I converted to a 3 synchro overdrive. I had to unmodify.

Either/both cars are fairly cheap. The Ghia is a lot of fun, very durable, goes great in the snow, doesn't heat very well.

Not because I have a '67, I have a '67 because it is the pinnacle. On top of the reasons you like the '69 the reason I believe this is that it has: 1.
