NON Chevy’s in the Wild

[shady]

And yes, I'm parked like a D1ck. Lol
Sort of intentionally.
2/3 of the parking lot I was in were all parked over lines in one way or the other. So I took up the last 4 places in the back of the lot next to that lol.

I have always wanted one of these with a Chevy V8 swap.
Now I want one but with a Chevy LS V8 swap lol

Ugh…the wiring and build quality though…

 

[shady]

Eh, that can mostly be remedied.... They just look sleek and elegant.
Combine that with a fire breathing American V8 sound, and it'd be Awesome. Lol

Back in the late 80’s I had to pull a transmission outta one of those ( or a very close version of whatever that kind is ) and was shocked once I got it on the lift to find it had a TH400 - the case matched whatever bell pattern the V-12 had but the rest was all TH400.
The car wasn’t my thing but the V-12 did pull nicely in traffic around town on the test drive.

I had an MGB roadster.
After I threw a rod through the block, I got a 3.8 chevy engine and was looking for a t5 to get it all done right, but then I ended up getting rid of it in a purge

That would have been a fun car

I know but at the time I had 57 project cars and the county was harassing me so I got rid of a dozen cars

My next-door neighbor had a Land Rover and that was close enough

Back in the late 80’s my brother had a ‘80 MGB and it had more crap wrong with it then a 8yr old vehicle should ever have - convinced me that the rumors of British building standards were true!

The one thing the British cars are notorious for is electrical issues. Mine had some minor issues but my plan was to do a full custom wiring harness when I did the engine swap.
Someday I might still do this

After the 90’s Britain started selling off most of their name brands so in later years that may be true.

That's another car I wanted to convert.
Back home 90% of jaguars have chevy small blocks
