MG TD TF 1500 - TD Engine & Transmission Wanted

I just purchased 1950 mg td #2042 (my first TD since a 52 RHD in 1963). It currently has a 4-cylinder Volvo engine and 5-speed box. The vehicle is in very nice condition and I'd like to investigate the possibility of finding a decent TD engine and transmission. Any leads, specially in southern CA, would be appreciated. Dan M.

Do you want to show your TD, or drive it and enjoy it? If you chose the second option, just drive it and enjoy it. That is a great drivetrain, more power, reliability and drivability.

Thanks. It just doesn't look right tucked in there!

Dan, try Lawrie Alexander (http://www.britcars.com/) in Cameron Park CA. My TD had a B16B in it when I found it. I'm not a fan of hybrid TDs. Good luck. Bud

Check ebay, often stuff on there, call Abingdon Spares also. George

Dan; Do have a 1950 TD field car with engine and transmission. Both would need rebuild-and we are half a country apart. Just thought I would mention it. Dan Craig
