She is asking 1800 for the one that is in running condition and I am guessing the one in pieces can be had for under a grand. She doesn't know how much to ask for it.Matsui said:
What's the value of these you think?
Because it offers double the HP and torque, and weighs 20-30 pounds LESS than the stock motor when done.robertf03 said:
Why would you put a 60 degree GM V6 in anything other than a trash can?
The Buick 3800 is a kind of GM 60 degree. They share bellhousing bolt patterns anyway.robertf03 said:
buick 3800 would be more better, and in a twisted point of view its somewhat stock since the mgb gt v8 had the buick 215 which was the grandad of all "modern" (post 1960) buick v8 and v6. Lots of parts interchange.
MGB has a giant engine compartment compared to most British sports cars of that era. One guy at the White Rock British car show had a zetec in there. Looked great, but thats not exactly an easy find around here (to my knowledge) The gt-v8 clones are always nice to see. And if you're going to spend the $ for the oddball aluminum v8 you might as well get the latest and greatest rover version 4.6. D&D motors makes a t5 and some other bellhousings for it, and theres all sorts of carb and fuel injection options that are actually really reliable despite what the internet says.
