We know there are a whole bunch of MG T-series V8's out there - and more great T-series projects are in the works. Now finally, one of their owners has ventured forward and broken the ice by submitting How It Was Done materials. I hope a lot of others soon follow. This conversion is truly exceptional, and I hope the write-up inspires, motivates, and educates:

Superb workmanship, a credit to the mans abilities.

What a beautifully engineered car backed up with impressive workmanship. I'm amazed and envious. Pardon me for a minute while I go out to the shop and kick my GT in the rear bumper! "P"
That is a very Impressive build indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'll just go ahead and heave my project into the canal! ;- )

Where can you go from there ?
We all make a deep bow to the ultimate MG V8 rebuild.

This is a great car. My 350 Chevy powered 53 TD is having an overheating problem. I'm using the stock radirator with a modified top tank. It's not spewing coolent, but is at 225 on the temp gauge. I'm going to install a high performance aluminum pump and put in some Royal Pruple Ice. If the problem still persist, I will need to have a larger radiator built. I would like to contact Ed and talk to him about his radiator. Do you have an email address for Ed?
The easiest way to contact Ed is via this site's nifty private message system. His MemberID is Stage6TD, and his profile is here: http://forum.britishv8.org/profile.php?2,11642
(From the profile page, simply click on the words "Send A Private Message".)
Wishing you good luck with that cooling system...

Simply beautiful. I just love swaps that add horsepower while keeping the essence of the British sports car intact. This one fills the bill. Not only am I dumping my car in the ocean, I'm tossing my tools in as well.
The Greenies'll get you for that......

Just be sure to drain all the fluids first. Then you can legitimately call it an artificial reef.
