Okay, now I'm really confused. I spoke to someone who has just restored an old MG and he suggested I recondition the current motor. It's done 225,000 careful kilometres, and been regularly serviced. But will reconditioning give me enough extra power? Also, can someone recommend a person to look at my car and give me an educated opinion - reconditon or replace?
Thanks
Bronwyn
PS Is it possible to post pictures of your car on this forum?

The money spent on reconditioning a 4M will really get you on your way to a 2jz-ge (esp if you are happy to stay auto). Except the 2jz-ge will have a lot more power and economy. Even if you do a performance rebuild I suspect that the 'hot' 4M will get killed by a stock 2jz-ge.
If the engine isn't shagged anyway I doubt you will pick up much power anyway, do a compression test.
what you really need to do is decide what you want, we have thrown a plethora of options at you, all of which are achievable. 
Cheers
Wilbo
