I am planning on using the stock MGB rear end as the tranny I have has a .63 over drive. I will at a later date change out the tranny and rear end for a tranny with .73 overdrive and a narrowed Ford 8 inch with 3.23 gears. I will use the RV8 headers and run dual exhast. I will be using the early Ford Falcon radiator as it is a bolt in situation. I am using a BOP 3/4 speed bell housing with a hydraulic throw out bearing. I will retain the stock hydraulics for both the clutch and bracks. I have used motor mounts that aloow mounting the engine as low and as far back as possible. These are from Glen Trownery (sp) and designed for use with air conditioning. I do not anticipate the need for a hood scoop.

Although all the work carried out at the complex at Marryatville is to the same high standard the specific vehicle depicted here is a credit to the team in that it was produced in just three months and included many new innovations, and further that all the paint, panel, chassis, engine and electrical work was done in house.

Other Data About My Car:
I bought my '74 GTV8 last summer from a nice fellow in Detroit who suddenly took up an interest in Mopars. It had been converted ~5 years ago by Rob Medynski at MGTs in New Jersey. Just a really immaculate job. I changed around a few things over the winter, mostly relating to suspension and electrics. Car is very much stock-looking but for the Panasport 15" wheels. It could probably be confused pretty easily with a factory V8 (there are factory-type V8 badges front & rear), at least from the exterior. The motor is a Rover 4.2, which is mated to your basic good old TR8 gearbox. The heads were ported and polished by Woody Cooper; 9.75 CR; the bigger Vitesse valves and uprated valve springs were added. Edelbrock Performer intake, milled at a slight angle for hood clearance. Chrome bumper car, plain old chrome bumper x-member. Hood clearance is close but it does clear! Partially for this reason, there are steady bars on each side of the motor, tying the beast down to the frame rails. MGC 3.07 rear with Quaife limited-slip installed. Wire wheel rear allows getting a bit more rubber under there (195/60R15) than might otherwise be the case, without flaring the fenders. Hopkinson sway bar kit; composite leaf springs; rear Spax. No intermediate shaft on the steering pinion -- it is simply a CB rack with an RB pinion attached, and the stock column has been shortened and re-angled. Mallory vac. advance distributor; on a tip, I used the one for a Buick 215. Block-hugger headers, Jet-Hot coated; 2-1/4" single-pipe SS exhaust. Stock B brakes with drilled discs, no servo. Engine-driven flex fan. Radiator is 3" deeper than stock (goes to bottom of the x-member. Have not had overheating problems even in hot weather; the electric fans do of course kick in around-town, though. No air dams, fender flares, or that kind of stuff. The car is stock Teal Blue. Just have the stock seats -- they were recently rebuilt and they are fine. Scrounged a 140mph speedo from a C, had it rebuilt to work here. Rob had inserted a lot of soundproofing material and the car is rather quiet. All in all, trying to keep the car very understated and low-key. Sure runs well. Idles almost silently, smooth as glass, at 600rpm, which is a bit surprising as there is something of a cam in there. Goes absurdly fast when you put your foot down, handles like a dream, and stops on a dime. No complaints at the moment, other than I am a little tired of paying for high-test! I guess I should figure out how to post a couple of pictures online. But I don't know if the car, being quite a bit plainer looking than some of the V8s, would be of much interest, except that it is certainly a testament to Rob's crisp execution.
