MG MGA - Flathead V8-60

I'm looking for a Ford V8-60 engine for a project. I have a complete MGA Goldseal 1500 for trade. Also a complete XPAG. Marv

Marv,

Check out britishv8.org and let the gus over there know what your doing. That is the site that tends to give the most of Conversion info. I am into GM V6 engines, others are in to BOP/R V8 and some Ford but the Flathead would make an interesting conversion. I think there might possibly be an article over there about a T series using a Flathead. I know at least one fellow who had a flathead in his MG TD locally.

Brian, it will be going into a basket case '52 TD that I'm building. Got the idea from a May '56 issue of Hot Rod magazine. I've gotten a few leads on an engine but nothing for sure yet. Thanks for the info, Marv

Cool! My uncle has a complete '39 Mercury that he has had sitting n the barn for 30-40 years bu he is not about to let that go. Have you considered the Merc for the extra power or are they getting too rare?

I think I know the series of books you have been reading/dreaming about speaking of TDs with Ford Flatheads!!

Please, post more on the British V8 board, this sounds like the type of project that would stir quiet a few guys up over there. Plenty of guys from the East coast on that board so maybe you could find something closer to you with more eyes looking.
