New Guy Building an MGB With a 3.4

[LittleBritishCar]

Hi Everybody, I have been lurking for a few months but just signed up today. I am in the process of building a 1975 MGB with a 3.4L engine and a 5 Speed T5 transmission, which I am picking up tomorrow afternoon. As you can see by the attached photo I have a LONG way to go! I will probably annoy everybody with questions so I thought I better introduce myself!

I put a 3.4/T5 into my Datsun Roadster. Made alot of mistakes along the way trying to find trans/bellhousing combination. The F body tilts the tranny at 17 degrees making the shifter come out of the side of the tunnel. Feel free to ask any questions, I've probably been there.

I assume you are aware of the MGB Experience site with a forum for the specific issues involved in your swap.

This site is great for tech info on these engines and there are a lot of experienced people here willing to help out, if you remember to ask before you take a particular step.

I can probably help a bit, but my 3.4 is installed in a 1956 MGA, and there are a lot of differences in detail between that and the MGB.
