Wait a minute! - I know that Saguaros don't grow in Winnipeg......must have had a MG vacation in Arizona.
Nice clean build Darrell, and I see that you've retained the heater for those not-so-warm Manitoba Winters.
Looks like it's tucked in there nice and neat. That would have been before the bellhousing pattern was changed to the small GM corporate pattern, right? And I'm thinking that engine has taller intake ports? Probably the one that the TA aluminum heads fit. Looks like a sweet ride.

The use of the standard MG 'box and o/d is interesting. You don't see that too often with conversions.
Darrell is on the mgexperience and I remember when his car got rear ended. If I'm correct I think he was towing it on a dolly on the interstate in North Dakota and got rear ended by a girl on a cellphone. The replacement sure turned out nice!
Jim B, Most 85-87 Buick 3.8 are FWD and small V6 bellhousing pattern. Last RWD were Turbo GN and Regal.My favorite V6 to run carb. Remember the old thread on front covers with gerotor oil pumps. Some 86 were roller cammed too.
