TLDR; Events in my life have unfolded such that if I?m going to sell my 1969 MGBGT this would be a good time. It is near Santa Cruz, has a race legal cage (SCCA logbook, also legal for Conference and NASA), a HPE supercharger, Ford 5-speed, ported aluminum head and a crazy amount of go-fast goodies for the motor. I am willing to entertain anything that even vaguely resembles a reasonable offer on everything. I also have a truckload of spares amassed over the years. I?m in the middle of some major work on my house, I have emptied out the shed where I kept most of my spares, plus those given to me when a friend lost his storage unit. By the end of January the company I work for will be moving from the Bay Area to Riverside. I won?t be selling my house, but I have a lot of work to do before I move myself for a few years. I have only been able to make sporadic progress on the car for ages, and it is unlikely that I?ll be able to anything more for several more years. I don?t have time to catalog everything, and while the engine and transmission are in place, it?s more akin to a project that is ready to be started. The major bits are: 1969 MGBGT, with race legal cage. The body is in fair shape, shortly before I took it off the road was restored to ?race ready? 20/20. A few years back the aluminum bonnet was blown off the car and got dented on one side where it meets with the fender. A motor with lots and lots of goodies. In the previous incarnation, with a cracked iron cylinder head I saw 107 hp to the ground on a dyno with the supercharger before the headgasket blew (because of the head). The new version has a custom elgin cam, ported aluminum head, high lift rockers, nitrided and balanced crank, aluminum flywheel, light starter, aluminum backplate, performance distributor, and so forth. The 50 static pounds I reduced the motor weight by alone is good for about half a second per lap. The car was able to keep up with spec miatas on the straight at Thunderhill. With a nearly stock suspension, they did handle a bit better though. Ford five speed transmission. Header(s) HPE supercharger. Two sets of Minitor 14? minilite replica wheels, several sets of ratty ro-styles. Many sets of HS4 SUs. Many Lucas distributors. Many starters and generators. Some MGB seat frames. A couple of rear ends.

As for the clutch, how many dowel pins locate the pressure plate to the flywheel? MGA clutch has 2, MGB clutch has 3. The MGB clutch (stronger) can be used with the MGA transmission if one also uses the MGB transmission front cover & MGB throw out fork. Look for the casting number on the front cover. MGB cover is #22B55. Clutch disc are all the same diameter but the splined transmission input shaft can be 10 spline (MGA) or 23 spline (late MGA MK2 & all MGB). -- Eric Russell Mebane, NC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The whole steering rack just unbolts. -------- Original message -------- From: dave northrup Date: 12/30/22 12:10 PM (GMT-06:00) To: mgs at autox.team.net Subject: [Mgs] pulling engine MGA 59 MGA with early 5 main MGB engine and MGA trans See the picture? The steering rod is too stiff to get out of the way. I would rather remove that steering rod than the carbs/exhaust manifold. Any hints on how to do that?

If you really need to remove the steering shaft you will need to remove the steering shaft between the steering wheel & U-joint then pull the shaft out of the steering rack. -- Eric Russell Mebane, NC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
