crabbyone Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I remember seeing an article many, many years ago about a 520 with a J-13 modified with an MGA head, dual MGA SU's, and the MGA exhaust system. I would imagine, 40 years later, those parts would be difficult to find. However, I always thought a 5 main MGB 1.8 four cylinder, and 4 speed w/OD would be an interesting swap for the 520. The MGB can be built to 150hp, and is pretty reliable. Physically, it's not much larger than the J-13. And there is a lot of aftermarket support for the engine. Ya, I know it's different....but no one has accused me of being conventional in a long time. :) Why start now? Crabby Quote Link to comment
