There's still plenty of room under the bonnet! Mind you, that 'toe out' is going to wreck those tyres.[frame]

That's strange R2, the damage doesn't look so bad from here!

Re: Go on - Stick a V8 in it!
Think it's State-Side, there's a web site of LS conversions. I was actually Googling 'Inside MG Midget Fuel tank drawings', as I was struggling with a fuel blockage and wanted to see how the fuel picks up.

Scroll down a few posts and the pictures there. He seems to have his own site too, with some interesting Morris van shots.
Just as a matter of interest what does an LS1 motor breathe through? Given the amount of side space in the Moggie I'm imagining 4 x Weber DCO45's or is that just silly.

Presuming you don't use injection, our V8's use down draft carbs, usually 1 four-barrel, but sometimes 2 four-barrel carbs.

Different perspective angle between wings and wheels. I'd put 10p on toe out. He's probably not done the tracking yet.chrisryder wrote:Toe out, or perspective?

Re: Go on - Stick a V8 in it!
LS series engines are fuel injection - you can get an aftermarket carb kit, but the injection system is good, so why bother, besides a Corvette can do 30mpg.
That's why I fitted one in my Minor

Wow I always much prefer originality but in this case I will make an exception. Absolutely brilliant!
