Some of you guys will know of my last 2 FD's for those that don't here is a bit of history!
First FD ended up looking like the pic below after 5 years of hard graft and went from 100% stock to 20B N/A side port, dry sumped full track car. Attachment 676251 Attachment 676252 Second one was only a short term build and was mostly modded before I bought it but it wasn't what you would call nicely built! Attachment 676253 This takes me to the current project, to build a 20B N/A side port engine again but wet sump and as a street car not a track car . . . well my old man can't have all the fun in his V8 MGB! How she looked when I first got her home. Attachment 676254 First job was to de wiper and de spoiler the boot. Attachment 676255 Engine bay de ABS'd and de power steered. Attachment 676256 De power steered rack in. Attachment 676257 Close up of the work on the rack body. Attachment 676258 The block and stud kit with it being an 'A' series.

Matt724... This is my kind of car and should receive more attention. NA 20b powered cars offer by far the best balanced FD, but I'm prejudiced. I'm subscribed. Keep the pictures and reports coming!

I would think something like 48-50 inches before the collector for the power you are looking at?
G At the end of the day as I said to you before I'm not mega bothered what it makes so I will have to wait and see. My current biggest issue is the TB as I want to use a 20B one but it just looks so damd fussy . . . |
Thanks again G, will drop you a PM in a min :nod:

Nicely done, Matt. Beautiful welds and fits perfectly and you've got a lot of length in there, so you shouldn't end up collecting much back of normal.
