I just got an 83 T-type engine and transmission that I was thinking of putting into an MGB I picked up. When I got it all I thought that the engine would be workable, unfortunately that is not the case, for now. The heads have a casting number of 25506293 and have the bridge in the water jacket, I am guessing this is the standard 83 turbo head. The turbo is junk, at some point the wheels came apart, I knew that at purchase time. The engine was complete with everything but the downpipe. That would have had to be custom anyway. The block had gotten water in it and needs a full rebuild. It's a shame because the bores that stayed dry are excellent. Possibly it will only need a light hone, I haven't pulled the crank out yet as it won't turn over. Is the crank the same on this car and the later efi cars? I've already been too long winded so...
