Hi All

Can anyone please assist with the following All concerning my Ph 1 590MTT

2 Does MGB engine fit Riley 1.5 box??

3 Has anyone fitted 711 crosflow with either std 4 speed or type9 5 speed as I have both.

Cheers Rob Shocked Embarassed

Hi Rob

1 I believe the MGB 4 Synchro box is too wide for the Ph 1 tunnel. The 3 Synchro is very similar to the Riley 1.5.

2 The early MGB 3 bearing engine will fit the Riley gearbox, but are not easy to come by these days and parts are getting difficult to find.

3 Don't know, surely somebody has.

Paul

I have a 5 bearing MGB engine with a 3 synchro 4 speed overdrive gearbox fitted.

No modifications are need to the gearbox or the tunnel for it to fit.
