MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - V8 conversion links

There are quite a few V8 conversion websites out there with good info, but I have trouble keeping up with all of them. Enthusiasts like Nick, Tony, Larry and other have spent much time building their sites. I thought it would be good to have thread with all these sites listed for archival preservation.

I'll start it off with one most off y'all may not have seen, yet. Evan sent me an email to inform me that I had given him the V8 bug. He has been quite busy building his own MGV8 and documenting it here on this well-done website:

Okay, now post a link to YOUR website (or your favorite) so we will have 'em all together for future reference.

Okay. I guess no one wants to toot their own horn, so I'll do it. There are some great websites out there with lots of good info.

Hey Jim,
I've got a friend moving out to Michiana and he may need some help with the car eventually. Its got a new motor with just over 100 miles on the engine, but he'll at least need help retorquing the head and resetting the valves. Is there anyone out that way he should get ahold of?

Anyone know what happened to John Blenke & Moneypenny?

I would have liked to have added his site to our list. For his was one of the first websites that I came across when doing a 'net search for MG V8 conversion info years ago. I enjoyed reading about his experience with his MGV8 called Moneypenny. The weblink has long since quit working and I have often wondered what happened to John & Moneypenny.
