I think that is the third version of the car since Jim has owned it (and it’s been featured in more than few places). My dad, who is not into MG’s, mentioned the car to me after seeing the metal work on one of the hot rodder sites. At the very least it’s exposing the B to a larger audience.
His build thread is fairly detailed and this seems more like a project that keeps him busy.

Lots of people put V8s in MGs without radical surgery that changes the character of the car and leaves it barely recognizable. Why? It’s the sort of stunt you might kick around over a beer, but actually doing it seems almost pointless, not to mention expensive. Oh, well, we all have dreams, I suppose...
