MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Anyone Making 300 plus rear whell HP

with a 215 buick? If so please list what you have done to get that much.

I have never heard of a 215 getting 300hp at crank, let alone rear wheels and in a B. To get that HP you would have to add either forced induction or NOS. Both of which are "easy" in that they are common things to do to motors..

The issue would be using the power, 300hp in a B will be useless because the chassis cannot contain the power, nor can it get the power to the road, it will just melt tires, whic can be fun in and of itself..

My 350 Chevy conversion is computer estimated at 440 HP so I assume I will have more than 300 at the wheels.

Good advice above - the max from the Rover version is about 350 at the flywheel through supercharger, stage 3 heads, cam and chip.

Roger,
I'm a little new at this, just starting my first conversion, but could you elaborate on that setup. Also much effort did you have to go through to fit that supercharger?
