Ford 302 in an MGA . . . ?

[TeamEvil]

WOW ! ! 2014 . . . it HAS been a long time since I last posted !

Still collecting parts for and solving problems on the 302 powered MGA coupe. As of now, I think that I have everything necessary to start in one it, wxcept some decent weather. It's been horribly here in New England this Winter.

After going around a bit on the rear end, I found a nice narrowed Ford Capri for a great price, hopefully strong enough for the 302. The same rear end that came in the V8 Mustang II, so I should be OK for a while.

Ended up with an altered MG Midget pedal box with bent to fit pedals and TRW master cylinders for the clutch and brakes. Even with the T-5 trans and bellhousing, seems like the available room will be fine. I picked up a standard Hot Rod "spoon-style" firewall mount gas pedal which also will squeeze in just fine.

In the mean time, as I want to sell the Mustang and wanted something fun and reliable to replace it, I bought a neat '58 Austin A35. Already got the early MG MIdget front end/brake pieces for it and getting a late model Midget 3.7 rear end with the fatter axles. Bought a Capri V6/four speed combination as well. Just started in getting the body in shape, then start the installation of all of the upgrades that I bought for it.



All for now, promiss to post more often, Over and out,
