All
you need for Stage 2 - and more (below): Gas-flowed
cylinder head with larger 3-angle valves and hardened valve
seat-inserts for unleaded fuel, HS6 AUD505M carburetters,
special tuning inlet manifold, performance distributor,
fast road camshaft, Duplex Vernier timing gears,
Borg&Beck performance clutch, stainless steel tubular
manifold, alloy valve cover, Lumenition ignition. I'll
have the engine fully balanced, while fitting an electrical
fan should make it more efficient. Maybe I'll fit an alloy
sump, too.

I
have not yet decided whether to buy an new engine or to
rebuild and tune the original unit...
Doing most of the work myself might be the best way to get the
'right' engine. I intend to use my MG solely as a fun-car,
but it should be able to cope with occasional city traffic etc.
Has someone built what he thinks is a powerful yet reliable
performance engine? What about those MGOC engines?
All future work on the engine will be featured on these
pages.
