look at the fuel mix .. TOP FUEL

+ i bet that engine did not make very many passes before it was torn down, yours will run for years.

the 65 MG production engine was 110 CID 1800 CC and at 5500 RPM put out 95 BHP .. some of those are still around running w/o a rebuild ..smoke a little and leak oil but.. running

i thought the aerodynamic attuned would enjoy that line drawing of the 57 MG landspeed car.. .. notice the difference between the 57 version and the 95 version
your post made me lookup the 65 lemans wiki ,, that MGB was on the track with GT40s[DNF] and shelby cobra daytonas .. the Daytona was in GT5 [5 L ] class the B was GT2[2L] Daytona did 304 laps the MGB did 283 .. they built half a million B's[everymans sports car] a good example is quite inexpensive ,, seen any Daytona for sale lately ? cool 1,5 mill if its a dime i bet
you have made me feel good today to remember that i am driving a car ran with the big dogs
i think if i run it at 3650 RPM 65MPH it might get decent FE
