They started with a 1964 MGB race car with fiberglass panels that weighs 1,260 lb without an engine and transmission. Then they will power the little roadster with a 5.0 L V8 and five-speed manual transmission from a 1986 Ford Mustang. The V8 from the factory made 200 horsepower and 285 lb-ft of torque however with a few upgrades it will make 250 horsepower. Although the 5.0 L V8 is a compact package the MGB needed to go under the knife so it would fit. Watch as this wild roadster comes to life.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bF1u_xZrJtA\" frameborder=\"0\"
