OK, so, there is an MGB shell sitting in the warehouse and in need of an engine and transmission. What I'm possibly looking for is a 4 or 6-cylinder engine and a 5-speed transmission that I can buy for "challenge budget $$$". Whatever it ends up being, it will need to get a carb or carbs to run as I don't do FI, computers, wiring harnesses, laptop tuning. It's been suggested to find the engine/trans from a 92-94 Camaro V-6(3.4) as they can be found cheap. Unless there is a combo where the FI & computer are EASY to get running in a chassis it has no reason to be in, I'd consider it. A buddy told me 4-cylinder BMW, but my immediate thought is wiring nightmare. He seemed to believe it's pretty easy to power-up the computer with a simple 12V source and there were minimal sensors needed. Any other suggestions? This will end up as an auto-x, hill climb and possible HPDE event toy but not a street car.
You guys are going to be my best resource for this info because of the racing experience, Challenge builds and general GRM experiences.
What say you??????? What might someone have sitting in their shed, garage, under the workbench?????
