Plymouthy Adams Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 As with any modification, the line in the sand slowly moves ahead of your actions and thinking.. You plan and try to anticipate all things best possible and yet still be prepared to have the chair kicked from beneath you while you test fit the knot you just tied as to be politically correct so it will not irritate the neck of the man you are about to hang. This is now set and pinned, worked the last of the install today finding a driveshaft tube. Lots of body, frame cuts made AFTER painting this car as I had all intentions to use the original engine and not upgrade to the larger engine and the 5 speed. Anyway...I am glad to have it behind me but it was a fun part of the build even the stress of finding parts for a 42 year old retrofit engine into a 52 year old body...my mocked up transplant.....

Plymouthy Adams Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Posted March 25, 2020 they dare to be different....but, two door, bucket seats and 5 on the floor....how can you go wrong......you will go a long way before parking next to another and I like that part....you are right, seems TR6 and MGBs are everywhere...even Spitfires are few in this neck of the woods...

Ulu Posted March 25, 2020 Report Posted March 25, 2020 Looks just like my old MG midget engine but backwards. Manifolds on the other side. Is that a 1275cc? Quote
