Re: Im new and have a MGB with a 5.0
some mgb's actually were produced with a 302 cubic inch v8 for trans am racing. It was a factory race car basically. My dad has one with a 302 cid british made v8, that thing sounds weird as all get out

Welcome to FM Solarman. Nice V8 powered MG ya have there.

English cars with Ford V8's aren't too common but are fun. Mine weighs about 2000lbs. Trivia:MG stands for Morris Garage.
