Alec Stuckey's MGB V6 Conversion Journal

After about a year's worth of work, here is where I am at. I got the car roadworthy in July of 2015. I drove it through the summer and then did some modifying. This winter, I have changed the rear end to a 3.31 gear set , replaced the thrust washers in the diff, changed out all the bearings, and added anti-tramp bars . So far, I have been able to test the car on the road briefly because of the unusually warm weather we have been having. The new improvements have changed the characteristics of the car a ton. The gear set makes starting from a stop much easier, as well as drops the overdrive RPMs to a pleasing level. The traction bars have made starting from a stop and going up hills much nicer as well, because the axle does not twist when torque is applied.
