MGB GT V8

MG began offering the MGB GT V8 in 1973 powered by the aluminium block 3,528 cc Rover V8 engine. This engine had been used in the unibody GM 1961–1963, A-body platform Buick Special/Skylark and Oldsmobile F-85 and 1961–1962 Pontiac Tempest and was the lightest mass-production V8 in the world. Some changes were made by MG-Rover and the engine found a long-lived niche in the British motor industry. By virtue of its aluminium cylinder block and heads, the Rover V8 engine weighed approximately 18kg less than MGB's iron four-cylinder. Unlike the MGC, the V8 that provided the MGB GT V8's increased power and torque did not require significant chassis changes nor sacrifice handling. Both chrome and rubber-bumpered GT versions of the V8-powered MGB were produced by the factory with production ending in 1976.
