Transmission / Rear end / Suspension -

TRANSMISSION  is a Borg Warner T50-5 (from front,toward tranny) here are the final rations that we should end up with - 1st gear 3.10:1, 2nd 1.90:1, 3rd 1.25:1, 4th 1.0:1 and 5th will be 0.8:1.This will run real close to the ratios of the TR8 setup. It was from a 1976 Pontiac Sunbird V6 with a 231ci.

The clutch is a 10" Chevy, and I was going to put in the standard slave cylinder setup but in reading the MG Enthusiasts site I saw the info about the Mcleod hydraulic bearing setup. It went in without a hitch.      (output end of a T55)

Here are some pictures of the bearing installed. I took these before the clutch cover was installed. The hose to bleed and the hose to the slave cylinder run out the hole where the pivot arm was. (close up of Mcleod bearing) (Bearing and pressure plate in the car)

REAR END  is a Chevy Monza 3:08 Positraction. It has the centered pumpkin and is only 3 inches wider than the original MGB rear end. It needed some pieces welded to it for mounting, but the problem of the larger width was taken care of by having the wheels popped out and rewelded 1" further out. There was enough room in the fender wells to take up the other 1/2" on each side. <<Rear wheel 

SUSPENSION

It has a 5/8" rear sway bar, 3/4" front sway bar. Traction bars were also fitted,   <<traction bars - rear, and here's the front --The tube shock kits are on both front and rear.
