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.
|
restoring an MG motor makes sense as they're pretty rare and suited to repairing.
restoring a 5M makes no sense at all... they're relatively common (in wrecks) and the cost of rebuilding is not insignificant.
They were never a powerful engine to start with so reco'ing it isn't going to magically improve it.
like Wilbo said, spend that money on an wrecker or importer engine
if you want a motor from the same generation fo your car, rebuild a 5mge or 6mge - they'd be a reasonable improvement without coming from an imported half-cut.

PS Is it possible to post pictures of your car on this forum?
|
you need to host your pictures somewhere (<www.imageshack.us> and <www.flickr.com> come to mind as they're free and i use both) and then insert links to the pics in your posts.
