Hello Jack,<br>
I built myself an MGB GT V8 and warmed over the Rover V8 with HC pistons,
mild cam and Webers. Performance is mind boggling but when I can I will
put back a standard cam as it is tricky to drive with so much power and
the engine is not "smooth" just hairy. Luckily I used to
be a motor cowboy so I can handle it by going softly softly.
But I do not let my daughter drive it as she thinks she is good - even
handled my Maserati Mistral - but the MGB GT V8 is less
forgiving. So be careful how much oomph you put into an MGB
with its suspension unless you modify that too. My MGB GT V8
has much modified suspension and rear axle set up. With its
short wheel base the MGB could be tricky - just like the Maserati Biturbo
- I saw a lot of those in the Dealers shop for damage repairs
caused by normal drivers!!<br><br>

I used are available now, at least from Moss. Someone mentioned
getting them from the UK. You might pursue that. Have to
know what size you need though, as I'm sure you're aware. <br>
<br>
Look, do you really need 10:1 CR? Or a longer duration cam?Â
Do you plan to stand on it a lot or go for drives in the countryside?Â
 There are trade-offs, y'know? <br><br>
