I'd say rebuild the ori engine ... then it'll become a true classic. Check out those Brit classic restorer. Parts are plenty ... as long as there's $$$$$$$$$

I've a 3.5 Range Rover V8 engine if u're interested hehehe...

Beter than the crappy 1.8, lighter and faster. Hehehe
Thats the ideal engine plant for the MGB GT.
Why do u want to use that car for drifting...
Yours a 4 speed or does it have the over drive option?
Yours the chrome bumper?

I dont think parts should be that costly. Did u take the trouble to check out the parts yet?
U could try going down the Sin Tong Bee near Times Square.
What ever it is dont mess up a classic..
U want some old junk to drift get something like a KE70 lah....
Or u can buy an MG Midget Mk I or a MkII from me.
Keke.

Totally agree. Don't mess the CLASSIC. You will regret it if you did that. MGB is one of true classic car. If no money now ... there's no harm to let the thing lying there ..... do full refurbish when you collec enuff $$$$$

Join the local MG Club here lah..... Honnestly i think its dumb to mess up the origins of a car unless u really have no sentimental value then go ahead....
Some more if u're really interested in drifting how the hell are u going to find an lsd for it? U will end up welding the diff and when the axle break then where are u going to find the parts?

Range Rover engine? going rate just for engine alone for a 3.5 is 5k.

Why everyone like drifting so much....... Just only to show off to people. Spectator sport.

Hey Boggysv,
u by chance into classic cars too?

 

[DuKe]

Hey bro... dont mess up a GT la..... sighs... if it is in such a condition that you say it is, dont la....

can almost feel pain already imagining someone cutting the frame to fit in a V8 Landy engine... :) :)

the MGB GT 1969 has all mechanical engine... shouldnt be no problem after oil change, carburettor cleaning, new battery for the ol skool... i wish u didn't mutate it wit other engines... and juz keep it stock. FYI, the MGB GT is quite precious vintage in its original condition and once modded off the ori spec, it'll no more be the special car it is.

 

[DuKe]

da engine really really in bad condition ler...sigh..dunno wher to find da another ori replacement engine...i found some on ebay but dey dun deliver....if dey do aso....delivery cost!! haha damn
