MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Roger Parker's V8 book

I have seen several folks on this list refer to a book on V8/MGB engine swaps by Roger Parker, but I have been unable to find any reference to it anywhere to buy it. Can anyone give me more details?

Thanks.

Probably a type, I do know of a book on V8 conversion by Roger Williams...

fwiw,

I think what you are looking for is "Give your MGB V8 power" by Roger Williams. It is available at Barnes and Noble. The only link for Roger Parker that I know of is to a article he wrote. http://www.mgcars.org.uk/v8_conversions/rogv8.html

Thanks for the help, guys. I have Roger Williams' book (in fact I have several of his books), but I was just wondering if Roger Parker also had a book out. Evidently, remarks about Roger PARKER's book are really intended to be about Roger WILLIAMS' book. In the last issue of the Newsletter, Tony Thiel mentioned a book by R. Parker. Probably meant to say R. Williams, I guess.

btw, I just received Roger WILLIAMS' lastest book, "Your expert guide To MGB & MGB GT problems and how to fix them" today, the latest in the Veloce "Auto-Doc series. I haven't yet had a chance to give it a good read, but it looks to be an excellent book.

Dan,I don't know about a book by Roger Parker, but there is a book length article on this site. Go to the home page, type Roger Parker in the search box & about 60 articles will appear. #53 is about Mg V8 conversions. Barrie E

This may be part of the confusion:

It's not a book, but it's pretty comprehensive.

Roger Parker also wrote the chapter on fuel injection for Roger Williams.

Two Rogers that are experts on MGV8 conversions is bound to cause confusion. My money is on Roger Parker, though, for MGV8 Guru.
