From the shot I saw, it looks like you had to shoehorn that 351W in the box.. Did you have to mod the shock towers for it to fit and did you consider the 351C as well or was it the Windsor all the way?

AWESOME Mod btw! Bet it really moves!

If you have saved it from being destroyed/ scrapped then it can only be a good thing. Better it lives in this guise than not at all.

Wow! Just came across your build and love the quality of your work, great job on the trim of the apron in front of the windshield..I have wondered how a small block chevy would fit, now I know it's very possible...hope you are out enjoying it now..

Looks like a really well put together conversion, a bit like what you Americans did to the AC Ace when Caroll Shelby built the AC Cobra out of a light weight European designed car.
How is the weight distribution, I see you have moved engine back as much as possible.
I recall driving MGCs after they fitted the straight six cast iron lump, they had a tendency to go straight on at fast bends when compared with the MGB, although modern tyres and suspension mods must make a difference.
