GM 3.1L V6 in a 1973 MG BGT
Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2010 6:33 pm
After 204K miles (that I added to the odometer) and 11+ years of daily driving, I finally replaced the tired
old 1800cc 4 cylinder in my 1973 MG BGT with a 1992 GM 3.1L and B&M T-5 tranny. Wow! What a blast! OK...I'll make this easy....
MS1 MSnS-E Hi-res version on a V3 board running stock HEI on the MPFI setup. Custom in tank pump setup.
LOTS of info viewed easily on youtube.com Just search for ptegler100 or http://www.youtube.com/ptegler100#p/u
There are 5 videos showing the install. (oh...the others are my first MS install...a Spit6, with the engine set back in the frame)
I'm just now (end of Feb 2010) finishing up the final warm-up enrichment tuning and IAC/water temp compensation
adjustments. She pulls like a freight train all the way to 123 mph. When I saw that on the GPS I nearly cr__ped myself.
I just put a new speedo drive gears in the tranny to better match the newer narrowed 10 bolt 3.08 rear I had installed.
Highway mpg looks like the upper 30's!
