I have an MGBGT 1973 model in my garage awaiting fixing up and paint. I never have any time though but it would be good to get it going - the 1973 here (UK) still had the mid-60s spec 98hp twin carb engine and not the strangled US "federal" version but I would prefer to go with a more modern unit - maybe a 1.4 K-series (103hp and FI) or maybe a GM Ecotec 1.4 16v from a Corsa. If I really feel brave maybe an L-Series Diesel as it is based on the B-Series block.
