Default Something not seen here before MGB LS1

I know someone here has a LS1 MGB project in the signature, but I thought that some here amy be interested in one that is done. It is on flea-bay but that is not the point of this post...just a cool car that should fit into the interest of this crowd.

I am posting a link to a thread about the car and its succesor.

That's NUTS... (and I mean that in a GOOD way!) Looks to be a really well-done project, if I had $28k or $30k lying around just waiting to be blown on something, I'd consider it...

I'd (probably) sure hate to work on it though!

I thought the price wasn't too unreasonable either. But the guys on the MG site sure throught it was overpriced.

Guess the builder really hogged out the fenderwells to make the engine fit, with no apparent other bracing. They also questioned how long the stock rear end was going to hold up. The only thing saving it was the lack of traction from those skinny tires.

I wouldn't mind owning a car that clean.
