Nice flathead -- more pics! You should bring it to the group get together in Townsend TN in May!

Hey Marvin
I see you found your way here from the HAMB site. The HAMB guys don't like these kind of cars too much. That's a great TD you have. I'm amazed how well the engine fits, looks like it was factory installed. I have a few things to correct on my TD and it will be ready for the warm weather.
take care, Dave

Awesome! I can't wait to see more photos. It would be great if we could get enough info for a <a href="http://www.britishv8.org/British-V8-How-It-Was-Done.htm">How It Was Done</a> article.

So do I. Recently I was thinking that an MGC and a FHF would go well together (and still do) but what would also go well and also be period correct would be a FHF in an MG-SA. Too bad I don't have one.

Nice Marvin!

Jim,

How about an MG YB? I have one that needs a little work and a new home.

You know, it's amazing what a few inches of hood length does to a car's appearance. The one I think I'd *really* like to find is the WA but it's doubtful I'll ever find one of those in a condition I can afford. Still I wouldn't mind seeing a photo of your YB Brian, though I sort of doubt it's what I want.

Jim, if you have a flathead motor, I have a pair of MGCGT coupes that can be bought cheap. One is rust free, the other is for parts.

Thanks Bill, I appreciate the offer. The bad thing is, first I don't have the FHF engine, and second I just filled the last empty storage bay with a '74-1/2 MGB roadster. So right now I have neither the room nor the money for it.

But if you wanted to trade for a B... I'm guessing that wouldn't work either.

I might be interested in a BGT that was not all rust.

Yeah, see that's what I mean. It isn't a GT. Pretty rust free though.
