Howard Fitzcharles' 1970 MGB GT with Oldsmobile 215 V8</a>
Front-tilting MGB bonnet? Air starter? Quad Webers on custom manifolds? Direct ignition? Eight megaphone mufflers? BMW water pump, located off of the timing cover? Let's hear your comments.

Wow that;s some wild engineering.That;s a hot rod for sure. Way to go
That is some AMAZING engineering!
Very cool.
I like that vintage fighter aircraft vibe.
Would love to hear it start-up.
That's gotta sound unique.
Let alone how those 8 individual exhaust pipes must sound.
Cheers

Everybody must be on vacation in Cuba Costa Rica or Somewheres. I thought the wires would be burning up on comments from this build.I guess we gotta wait for Everybody to get back.
Pretty sweet ride.

I know nothing about Oldsmobile motors, but I know outstanding engineering when I see it. I'm impressed!

Unnnnbelievable to have the vision and the sheer persistence - and the ability. These throwaway comments about designing and making an inlet manifold, drilling out the Webers, the extensive mods to the cooling system, and the air start; now that is seriously mind-boggling. I heard of Daimler fitting one to the double-six sleeve valve, but a V8 ????
Unnnnbelievable.
Hope you actually get it to the point where it can be driven.
