Hi,
The 1.8 B series engine in my marina needs attention, I got a similar engine from an MGB when I bought the car (I know the seller - he tells me the MGB motor was solid)

Any words of wisdom, is it a straight swap or will I need to get ceative?
MGB motor has no manifolds / carb / flywheel so I'd need to fit the Marina parts..
If it's a straigforward swap I'll try it, if it needs parts & time I'll look at fixing the Marina engine first.
I have plenty of experience with cars this age but very little with BL models... educate me
