<P class=MsoNormal>Somewhat off topic but anyhow, here
goes........<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There may be an MGB GT V8 for sale locally. My wife had a
regular one years ago. (1800cc?) It was OK but it seemed to me that it just
looked like a sports car but didn’t really behave like one.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>But a V8 would be a different story? <o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN></SPAN>Our driveway is narrow. A 3000 goes through like a greased pig,
but most cars are too fat. Is a B wider than a Healey?<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN></SPAN>The 3.5 ex Buick engine......isn’t that the one that TVR bore out
to 4.6?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Seems to me that the 3.5 would offer up some serious power if
sufficiently tweaked? Or am I thinking of a different engine?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I think it’s the same engine that Rover used to put in their
cars. Police 3.5s went like rockets considering the cars’ weight.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any comments would be welcome.<o:p></o:p></P>
