If you can fit a Mazda MX5 engine and gearbox in an MGB a la MGB LE50 and the Jaguar XF 3,0 V6 in the MX5 then an MGB GT V6 can be mine......

......can't I?

Just going back to the OP, why a V6 powered B ? I’m genuinely curious smile

I was very taken by by the Rocketeer conversion of the MX5. The noise and revy character of the engine is just so different from almost everything else on offer.

There is an excellent review of the MGB GT LE on Youtube “Harry’s Garage”. It goes like a stabbed rat, and sounds sublime. Well worth watching!
That was his April 1st review as far as I remember...
Amazing the difference a twin cam and fuel injection can make to that wheezy old B series engine.
