Nice job! Did you change the Axle ratio while you were in the diff? What do the Toyota Regulators and SPW wipers do better? Thx

@gabcwabc2491 Жыл бұрын

I did not change the ratio but the T5 is the V8 version with the longer gears. The old window regulators would bend and strip. They were continually problematic. These regulators have been problem free. Modern motors are better than the one's in the 60's. The SP wiper has a better motor than the originals and have a more positive movement. I put them in my Pantera as well. Thank you. Gary

Fantastic restomod. Excellent body and paint restoration and your custom fabrications solve many troublesome original quirks. However, as i was often forced to point out to my teenagers over the years - just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. The engine upgrade is understandable - the original four even in the 60's could have benefitted from some more power but in my day of owning a B (it was a 1963) I saw far too many wrecked mgb's and similar cars (TR4's, Datsun 1600's, etc.) all because of swapping the original power plants for small block V8's. (A hot 340 in a MG Midget was perhaps the epitome of this) Invariably, the wrecked cars had massive tree or utility pole shaped dents in the front end. The cars' original neutral handling being turned into massive understeer by the extra weight in the front and too much horsepower. You have magnified the imbalance by swapping the leaf spring suspension for a lighter coil over set up as well. This car will be a fun performer with lots of reliable horsepower but I would be very wary in the cornering department. Perhaps rather than the v6, just modernizing the original 4 with some performance upgrades would have given you a more balanced machine.

The car lost 15lbs with the engine change.

@jeremymasterson5818 2 жыл бұрын

@@gabcwabc2491 Wow, Fast reply! Appreciate it. Do you mean the v6 is lighter than the original i4 by 15 pounds or that the whole car is 15 pounds lighter? The problem I saw with the small block swaps was the change of center of balance between front and rear with weight moving forward.

@gabcwabc2491 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, the engine swap is about 15lbs less.

@gabcwabc2491 2 жыл бұрын

BTW, the 60° V6 is used because the headers fit inside the fender rails. If you use a newer MGB their is very little modification needed to the engine bay, just a little clearance on a shelf corner for the driver side header.
