ok its been a while since last update so i have more pics... its slow progress atm but firstly the sump and pickup pipe are done and fitted! was going to do a tidy job of it but with time being short i thought what the hell! its on the bottom of the engine and it only has to work and not leak.. so i just migged the begger up claned it and gave it a bit of paint!  new flange for the manifold made and welded on with a portmatch.... i still need to make a turbo flange and get that and the turbo support made but atm i will get it in the engine bay and see how it all lines up.  side shot and a top shot!  turbo will sit up top right at the front for easy downpipe and intercooler piping also cooler here too.. heres the carlton gearbx i will be using waiting for a clutch to arrive before i bolt it on..  I'm keeping it as low as it is now but would like some movement as its on the bumpstops at the moment  heres my solution!   they are from some lotus somethingoranother! will be quite stiff but off the bumpstops.. for the banded steels I'm going to run the arches will need cutting out quite a bit running these bmw 14" banded to 8" on the front with non streatch "propper sized" tyres   will be banding up some rover wheels up for the back these are 15" but look very simular to the bimmer ones... will be about 9 to 10" wide hopefully ;D will be needing arches to cover these so this is what I'm fitting: front   and rear:   escy mk2 jobies... should go on ok with a little adjustments her and there thats it for now peops si |

This is great!  What kind of power can you get from these lumps? Any tuning possibilities? Maybe crank up the boost, wind out the governor and put your fingers in your ears! ;D Love it!  |

Those arches are awful!! Please don't put them on.
I wish I had the technical dexterity to make something like this though, a Morris Marina with a Rover L-series for me please!

Not keen on the arches either but they'l definitely 'work'...
Good conversion.
I think it was John (Beardmore) on here that said that he upset some cloth caps as he wanted to put a modern TDi (VW I think) in an MGB... What a great daily driver !

Nice fresh idea, keeping the powertrain 'in the family' so to speak. Its one for the future and definitely think there's a few more projects like to come....the future is.....oil burning? Probably not.
Does this lump run on veg oil?
Arches,I'd leave them off, but it ain't my car! ;D
