At Mantell Motorsport, we harness the latest technologies to give you the performance, look and feel
you deserve.
When it comes to MGB V8 conversions, it's about "The Power". Whether you need more power for competition
or just appreciate professionally-engineered, high-performance in an MG, Mantell Motorsport can give
you what you deserve. We'll help you specify, build, and and tune the modern small-block Ford "5.0 liter"
(302cid) engine to your very specific requirements.
Please take a moment and have a look at several recent examples of our work:

Be honest. It's about "The Look" too. At Mantell Motorsport we're also expert in Media Blasting and
Powder Coating.
Media Blasting involves the stripping and preparation of various surfaces for paint without
damaging underlying material. The process is similar to sand-blasting, except we carefully select
from a range of abrasives to assure the best results.
Powder Coating is a superior alternative to painting or plating for many metallic automotive parts
and for other items that require an especially tough, attractive protective coating. Powder Coating
is essentially a baked-on plastic finish. It's available in an almost unlimited range of colors.
The application process is considered very environmental because no solvents are released into the air.
The process also yields a more consistent coating thickness - free from drips, runs, or sags. But from
our experience, the biggest selling point of Powder Coating is the superior durability of the finish
in terms of chip-and-scratch resistance, solvent and fuel resistance, and color stability.
Whether your MGB needs refinishing, the snowblower is looking a little worn, or even if your kitchen
appliances don't match your new ceramic tile, Mantell Motorsport can help.
