Chris Jones's '67 MGB V8 Conversion

The 1962 Buick Special engine was located as low as possible by utilizing custom built motor mounts and moving them to a location further forward than most installation. I was looking for as much room as possible to allow 4 exhaust tubes to be routed along the side of the block between the frame rails on both sides.

A '64-'65 stock Mustang radiator was located in front of the stock anti-sway bar location on hammer formed mounting brackets. The stock oil cooler panel was removed and a custom fabricated pan was installed to allow air to flow to the full length of the taller Mustang radiator.

The steering rack just fits behind the harmonic balancer and the front of the oil pan. The engine actually sits down over the steering rack leaving about 1/2" clearance between the crossmember and the oil pan
