Not a bad price at all.
I'll have a think about it - in addition to the Pug TD conversion (assuming I can find a gearbox!), I've got a 2.9i + A4LD and a 2.0MPi twink (127bp) + MT75 under the workbench - the latter might be quite a tidy conversion...

Well this is 160ish in standard form and easily tweakable from that as well, 5 speed is pretty bullet proof on these as well It goes all right as It was in the car I broke for the LSD rear Axle Car was rotten but the engine fired up first time and pulled like a train  ;D |

I'd go for the Pinto/Type 9 option. It's probably lighter than the B series, and it'll give you at least 50% more power. Overall gearing in 5th works out at about 3.5:1 with the stock diff, so it won't be too bad on a motorway.
The only possible problems I can see is the exhaust manifold is on the right and might foul the steering box, and all Pintos (except the actual Ford Pinto) have rear well sumps (not sure about the Farina sump though).

A friend of mine is having Valley Gas Speed Shop in Newbury fit one to his, the sump is fine even the engine mounts were easy to adqapt. The only headache they had was the exhaust manifold they used a Sierra one in the end I think. To be honest I've spent a lot of time sorting the MGB motor in my A50...a lot of time and done a fair amount of tuning and it probably would still struggle to see off a 2.0 Pinto motored one. I've just got hold of an injected Pinto that I may stick in at some point though ;D

Yeah, sumps in the right place. I did think about the exhaust manifold fouling the steering column but there seems to be stacks of room. Does anyone know if the tunnel needs modding to fit a type 9 or if the gearstick will be in the same place as the original box? MGB axle, sierra engine and box. Should be pretty cheap to do. Biggest expense would be having the prop made and balanced. Would have to be some adaptation/bodgery to convert the clutch pedal to cable operation. Theres a dead 1600 sierra estate around the corner. Maybe i should charm it off its miserable owner. Pinto may not be to everyones taste, but should be the easiest to install. Welding for MOT has been postponed for another week  |

Type 9 box is to long to come out in the original hole The High Gear type 9 kits for A60's use a shortened tail shaft etc.
