Center bolt valve covers indicate a Center bolt chevrolet tbi head, a head designed for low power and mileage in the early 90's. I'm willing to bet they put a 1500 dollar tbi gm crate engine in it with a different intake. Pure garbage. Extremely heavy V8 for the front of that little car. Junk junk junk.

He is extremely underrated as a person. Internet is full with those outdated and unoriginal "we cant see him" memes, but the guy is bigger than life, and Im getting annoyed with the memes, John has so much more to offer. I mean listen to him talking about cars, he is on the level with the mechanics.

i trust someone that transparent vs the ones who act like saints for PR but secretly creeps in private. That's the issue with fame. Who's really real and genuine and who is just PR to the public? Not that i dont believe Cena is a genuine person, but we dont know these things until something bad happens. Roid rage. Murder suicide. Etc etc when its too late.@@ebraxton6271

I sort of like what they’ve done. Why didn’t they use just use a bog standard MGB GT (a far more common rubber bumper variant) and do the work to that? It would have looked exactly the same and they wouldn’t have wiped out an original MGC in the process. The MGC is a rare car ~9k made over two years (1967-69) In my opinion these cars should be kept standard or lightly modified in keeping with period 😢
