A casual observer might suspect that an MGB GT with a roarty exhaust sound an a big round chromey air cleaner would be powered by an American V8..but you've be 2 cylinders off in your estimation, because this next British Rat Rod is powered by a Chevy V6. Find this 1974 MG BGT offered for $7000 in Albany, NY via craigslist. From Cory.
The MGB was in its final year of production when this next example rolled off the assembly line at British Leyland. What was once a classic roadster was now an overweight punch line with few buyers at the showroom. The bean counters, management, labor unions, safety nazis, and politicians had taken their toll on the British automotive industry and competition from the axis powers was eating up buyers. But the question we are all asking is, will an infusion of torquey American V6 make it better or worse? Find this 1980 MG MGB here on eBay

The Porsche 912 was introduced in 1965 as an entry level companion to the Porsche 911. To save costs, it used an updated version of the pushrod flat-4 type 616 engine from the Porsche 356 SC. For years the little brother of the 911 was very affordable, but in the past decade the prices have shot up as saving fuel and driving slow has become cool. If you prefer to not experience the thrill of trying to merge into modern traffic with 102 aircooled horsepower, perhaps you might consider this 1969 Porsche 912 Chevy V6 Swap
