Been meaning to start this thread for the past 3 weeks but not got round to it....
It's a 1978 MGB GT that i converted to a 3.5 v8 a couple of years ago but i fancied an upgrade for the summer so i'll let the pics do the talking,
Engine out time,
The new engine - 3.9 Efi V8, bought off here for £200 - history of engine unknown but was worth a punt at that price....
Initial inspection is very promising,
Nice and clean!! all my previous 2nd hand V8's have been really sludged up and dirty under the rockers,
Strip down and clean up begins,
Engine still looking good, looks to have had a very recent rebuild and only damage was a sheared off water pump pulley - so i'm guessing it may be from an accident damaged car?!
Engine is now pretty much ready to go, everything swapped over from the old engine and all cleaned up and painted
Gearbox once over next and then an engine bay clean up - will post more updates shortly
