All I can muster on that 513 hp is a barely perceptable, gutteral, evil chuckle!

Did I start something here? How about the hayabusa V8?

Okay Bevin,

Here ya go

If these guys can do crazy builds like this, then so can you :best:

Here is a mid-engine Prelude conversion, this is an exact option you are considering:

Look ma, no engine:





And here is some crazy wacko who swapped in a V8. Check out the work he did. You can do this type of work to the MGB and get a Prelude engine in there in a rear-wheel drive configuration :_order:

Here is the rear independent suspension being built. I don't know what it is out of, you'll need to read the thread for the details...



HOLY CRAP, I just discovered that thread is 32 pages long!!! Sheeeesh!

Ok,

I found out the red prelude with the V8 conversion is using a RX7 rear suspension. Also, he abandoned the project and parted out the car. Dang that was a lot of work for nothing...

Yup, I think this is how you should do it. Get some sub-frame assembly like this that you can just retrofit under the MGB. The IFS will handle better, and you can still put in a limited slip and do some drifting :bowdown: :driving: :boobs: :burnout:

This one is some sort of a custom Lotus 7 rear end with a Mazada Miata differential:

Here is a Nissan 240SX rear subframe drop out:




Seriously, that doesn't look hard AT ALL to just drop under the rear of your MGB. The width of these are of course wider, so some modification will be required...
