So, are you going to show the finished head with carbs?

Yeah Australian 250 ci 2V factory head is basically this with an alloy bolt on 2V intake , later Ford Australia put Cleveland heads ( or a type of Cleveland design cantered valve head on the 250 and 200) later again it was cast in alloy and multi point injection, in 1988 they added overhead cam and hemi chambers , then later it got double over head cams , 24 valves and a Garrett Turbo and the Barra Six was born .

Congrats on that great build, your GTB is beautiful and the engineering is awesome!

Did a similar mod in my family auto shop to my 66' Mustang fastback. Fabbed up and hole sawed 2 holes in the manifold and Ni-Rod welded 2 flanges for Tri-Power. Worked pretty well, for 1975.

Bad ass dude

How does the motor breath with both covers having vacuum

Kinda like a Sunbeam Tiger.

Nice job also see here on KZfaq "the widest V8 MGB GT in the world"

Did I miss it or is the engine never started in the video? I wanted to hear it GO!

Great stuff, what a cruiser, I like your style Sir.

G'day from West Australia😉 When I started my trade life 43yrs ago I had a customer came in, thought I was the boss. He wanted me to take his 170 cylinder head out of his boot ( or trunk) Then proceeded to tell me he wanted me to cut the intake log off and work out how to fit 3 side draught webbers to it. When my boss finally got to the shop he said what you doing to that head? ( as I was cutti ng log off with angle grinder). When I told him he had a customer come in got me to empty his boot and gave me instructions as to what he wanted. My Italian boss almost had a heart attack. At the end of the first day on this head he was impressed. Then said I better strip all the valves out and he would show me how to port it and change compression chamber shape, then we used a set of bigger valves from stock, some stronger valve springs. When customer got call to come have a look at his head, his mind was blown. He paid for head took it home then brought in the bottom end part he had and said see what you fellas can do with this lot to match that gorgeous head you created. Now my boss was ex ferrari engineer playing with a Ford inline 6. Crank got a lot of love poored into it conrods were not ford pistons were not ford. Don't remember wish I could cos it's one of the only non cross flow early ford engines I have ever heard rev like a formula one engine instantly hitting 9000 and returni ng to idle. Amazing engines have had many over the years.

FORD First On Race Day!

Interesting...years ago I met a guy in Texas who'd put a Pontiac OHC 6 in a TR6. Neat and easy swap, 200+hp, and the only giveaway was the hood scoop needed to clear the cam box. Plus, the car was faster then my Sunbeat Tiger II...and it wasn't very close!

Great Video Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

Thought about throwing a 302 in an MG or maybe FIAT spyder. Noticed a few Austin's available

Nice approach and execution on your MGB. I would get a fuel cell in pretty quick otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. Cheers 🇨🇦

Why did you use a windsor block vs the short deck 302? Arent 302s easier to fit? Lighter too.

Awesome but deserves a 4-speed. Nice work. 🏁

This is much nicer than most hot rods and a lot of thinking, design and fabrication went into this build. Just imagine what an aluminum block and heads would do for the weight and handling in this mid engine car.

Thank you, inspiring

Good job buddy, second eight motor pool is where you build stuff cool

Fun! Loud!

Widowmaker mufflers!! ❤ Absolute best on the market with no drone!! Great build. I can only hope my 66 swap will turn out as well as yours.

Can you go into further detail (like video) on how you put together the flip front end? I thought about doing a fibreglass flip to my 66 B but none exist. I’m doing a 289 swap. Great video! Looking forward to the next one!

Sano!

I have a 77 MGB with a 3024 speed 88 gear 355 positive that's one bad dude I got the side pipes on mine I love it

Lovely car. In 1969 I drove my green '65 from NY to Seattle and up to Vancouver.

What a beautiful mo-chine. I'd love to see it in real life some day. We're busy as all getout this year but planning on being at the Owl's Head Transportation Museum Truck n Tractor Show in July.

Cool car, too bad its got an automatic.

& I thought my TVR sounded well. Mnn Brilliant video. Steve.

Very cool!

Nice! You created the MGB that should have been. I tip my hat to you. Well done.

Perfect Jaguar

Sounds great✌

Very cool! What transmission and differential?

That's deliciously silly!

It's a British "COBRA"! LOL!😉👍

LOL! It's a British "COBRA"! 😃👍

NICE!! I love that sound, especially at low revs. Well done.

Looks like more fun than a Sunbeam Tiger with a 4 barrel 289 in it!

Best sounding Windsor 351 I heard in a while, and in a little car to boot.

I LOVE THIS THANK YOU and when you replied soon for hearing her run ,,,, you wernt kidding! thank you !!

Some of these guys don't know what happened in 1966 over there in sports car country.

Well done! I’m a similar “mature” gearhead. As a young buck, I built a 327 corvette engine in my 3000 Austin Healey. Later on my had a GMC S-15 also power by a ‘Vette 350 and now as an old fart, I’m restoring and modifying my ford 289 powered Sunbeam Tiger…gotta Love the abundance of torque created by a good old American V8 !!

I saw the one on the 200 six after the 351 and I was thinking I wonder if he knows the guy with the 351, It's got to be the same person and it was I had a 68 Fairlane with that motor 200 with a 144 head the guy who redid it said it would have more compression.that car got 27 or more mpg that was in 1980 my Toyota doesn't get much better.

Perfection! Love it

COO-ELL! What a sleeper! Love the sound of a 13726548 Small-block Ford with a decent cam! Maybe less restrictive mufflers would further enhance the symphony. Great job. Thank you for sharing!

Impressive! Exactly what every MGB needs. An actual motor.

I love it. I've been a mustang guy my whole life, 53 now, and I have MGs too. Currently have a 65 mustang convertible that had a 200 I6, now a 302. I also have a MGB and a Midget. The Midget engine is out and I've been toying with the idea (wondering really if I should do it) of putting a 200 in the Midget. What did you do with all your 200 parts?

" i had xj6 with 400 chev engine being 6.6 litres wow what a car !"
