That sounds a lot, you could get a brand-new bodyshell for that (as I recall), but them I'm tight. Unless you have welding experience I wouldn't recommend you start on 1/2 rear wings (I presume) unle

The factory V8 manual quotes a 'normal' system pressure of 42psi and an idling of 34psi - pretty terrifying. Mine runs at a shade under 40 at about 2500 under all conditions, with a hot idle of about

On a factory V8 you can only get the drivers side tubular manifold on and off if the steering rack is removed, and having the manifolds off gives you more room for manouvre and less chance of damagin

The biggest problem is hot air coming up from underneath. The fans blow air into the engine compartment but the only way out from there for the vast majority is under the chassis rails at the sides a

But then again the V8 and later MGBs both have an 82 degree stat and a 90 degree thermo switch, which perhaps implies that there is little difference in coolant temperature between the inlet manifold
