I have no interest in the sale at all, but I recently discovered the Copart website and this looks like a really interesting opportunity:

1969 MGC roadster with no engine in Baton Rouge, LA:

Listed as a B, but you can tell from the hood, front crossmember, and engine bay accessories that it's definitely a C.

Tough to tell from the pics, but the rust doesn't seem deep either.

Based on the MGC conversion recorded on this site, the Ford 302 with dual-sump oil pan drops right over the MGC crossmember.

BlownMGB-V8

As likely a candidate for the FHF conversion as one would ever hope to find I expect. But the only way I would give any serious thought to that would be if I had both the car and the engine sitting in the back lot. So that ain't happening.
