[Nobbc] Local MGB repair/modification

[PAUL HARPER]

Larry,

Good thought, but in this case we have the car titled in AZ where, if
you have 
classic car insurance, you don't have to do emissions testing as
they call it in 
AZ.  It's a good thing to remember for a TR6 we have that
doesn't run.  We have 
also considered an engine swap for it.

Becarefull
if you decide to swap engines.
I am assuming you mean to a V6 or V8 or late
model overhead cam 4.
With a 79 you will end up with a night mare as far as
smog goes.
Any car with a an engine swap and a title after 75 becomes
unsaleable in
California unless you incorperate all the smog requirements for
the year of
the engine.
just my opinion

Larry

We have
a 1979 MGB with a throwout bearing that is going out.  We've thought
about
several things including tranny swap to a 5 speed, engine and tranny
swap
to a
? engine with a 5 speed, getting a tranny with an overdrive or just
repairing
the throwout bearing.  We would like to hear any opinions and
would
be
interested in local repair shops to talk to or any information on engine
swaps.
Thanks.
