Hey, Aidan: Ya know, I'm just daydreaming. I wouldn't cut up the Old Swede ('63 California Special, 46K actual miles, no rust or rot) for love nor money. I've been around several very classy conversions, including the MGB that I mentioned (and by the bye, it's the Buick/Olds 215 aluminum V8 that the factory and today's tuners put into the B) that I just had to wonder what, if anything, the gearheads of the late '60's were doing. Remember, this was the era of Chevy engines put into the big Healy cars, ditto with Jaguar conversions, V8 MGBs, MG Midgets stuffed with RX7 engines for autocross (wickedly fast!), V8 Vegas, Sunbirds, and VWs! I also came across an old advert fr0om one of the now-defunct car magazines that advertised a complete Judson supercharger kit for the 122, MGB, and Renault Dauphine! So, I figured that there had to be something out there. I guess not, though there is some guy adding a modern turbo to the B18. Hmmmmmm.
