, i have a 323, and the motor is sweet, id love to see one in one of these. one of the best 60's designs, michelotti. he did the 2002 bmw and the alpine 610..... and the scimitar ss1.
the mgbv8 was a waste of 2 things, an mgb & a v8, the low comp engine with that hideous inlet had about 135hp........ bl australia actually had a 6pot version of the b series, which fitted straight in & was apparently excellent.... but bl england simply wouldn't touch it
correct, they fitted it to the aussie marina.... understeers more than an xe nova apparently
the british marina was actually the scariest car i ever drove.........you really never knew if it was going to turn...it felt like driving something with a rear diff lock on a grass field, it just pushed straight
If i had one, i would have to show it a V8. But with everything old like this, it will need hell of a load of revising to the body alone to cope with the extra grunt, if you were to fit a proper V8. Personally i would think a 3.0 straight six supra lump (80's) would look at home under there. Nice and smooth, quiet, cruiser (for what the car really is) and totally reliance.
i have the wiring diag for that/\
aye b ut a 3.0 single turbo soop lump in a thin metal box built in the 60 will prob feel alot more scary. (yep ive driven a monaro)
It'll only feel scary if its done poorly. Driven one.. round a car park
