[Mgs] My O/D arrived!

[Andrew Lundgren]

I purchased an O/D from a fellow in NY.  It arrived via freight yesterday
and is now in my garage.

I've owned a '70 B since '96. I got a parts car several years later and
took the O/D from that and put in my '70. I have always been happy to have
it.

I purchased another B ('78) about 5-6 years ago for my then teens to drive.
(How did I end up with another white MGB???) This one did not have an O/D,
as they rarely do. When a blue tag turned up at a reasonable price I bought
it.

The guy I bought it from was going to put it in an MGA. He got it from a
friend who.... yeah... It does not have the shifter lever at all, so I
don't know if it is '77 or later or not.

I'm planning on putting the O/D switch on the dash in the '78 auxiliary
switch location using a standard '78 switch.

So now I will be pulling the engine on the '78.

It's been a while since I've had an engine out.

While the engine is out I am planning on doing:
-clutch and throwout bearing (on sale a few weeks ago on moss)
-speedo cable
-rear main seal
-motor mounts
-water pump

I am considering the timing chain with a duplex, camshaft, pushrods and
lifters.

I will also clean up the engine bay while it is out. (the good thing about
a white engine bay is you can get away with rattle can paint pretty easily
in there, the bad part is it is white...)

Anything else I should do/consider while the engine is out?

Thanks!!!
