Review by Paul Guinness for Classic Car Mart, June 2006

Another in Veloce’s SpeedPro series, this softback title does exactly what it says on the cover. And although it’s not cheap at nearly thirty quid, its impressive detail and easy-to-understand instructions make it worth every penny for anybody thinking of squeezing a V8 engine into their humble MGB.

Written by acknowledged MGB expert Roger Williams, this book doesn’t just cover the procedures involved in replacing the B’s 1.8-litre four-pot with a Rover V8; it also explains why you might consider a Chevrolet or Ford small-block transplant instead, giving you an interesting range of options to choose from.

Completely redesigned, updated, revised and enlarged from earlier versions, How To Give Your MGB V8 Power offers clear step-by-step instructions throughout its 224 pages, as well as over 500 illustrations, most of them in colour.

In these days of booming interest in the modified classics scene, the timing couldn’t be better. This radically improved Third Edition of an already decent book deserves to do well.

Review by Mike R for Classics Monthly, May 2006

This book offers a step by step guide to replacing the MGB's standard four-cylinder lump with a nice big V8. Wisely, the author covers not only the 3.5-litre Rover unit (which of course some B's were fitted with as standard but also Buick, Ford and Chevrolet engines too. Everything from gearbox and clutch to suspension, electrics, wheels and tyres is included with full colour pictures throughout. Buy this book and get a good idea of what you're letting yourself in for.

Review from Hemmings Motor News

Almost since the MGB hit the streets, naughty owners have lusted for the throaty roar and the seat-of-the-pants thrust of a 'torquey' V8. But unlike pulling that six-cylinder tooth on your Nova and lowering in a 350-cu.in. small-block V8 in its place, installing a V8 in an MGB isn't exactly a plug 'n' play exercise. At least until you start digging into Roger Williams' How to Give Your MGB V8 Power.

Rover V8 power is the decided choice here, but Williams does a good job laying out the pros and cons of that engine, plus the 302-cu.in. Ford, and the 350-cu.in. Chevrolet. Williams covers all the bases, including which car to consider (for once, rubber bumper Bs are the preferred choice), which engine, which transmission and rear end. Brake, electrical system, driveshaft and suspension modifications are all covered in detail. The book is billed as "step-by-step instructions," but it's really an overview of what needs to get done. There are over 500 color photos, but none of them are very large. Of course, if they were, the book would be 500 pages long, rather than 218. Our only major complaint is not necessarily aimed at this book, but all shop books that attempt to be relevant in the garage: Why aren't they spiral bound, so you can keep them open when you're actually turning a wrench?

This is the fourth edition of Roger Williams' guide to hotrodding your MGB. Not having a handy copy of the third edition, and not being supplied what's exactly new by the publishing company, I think we'd be safe in saying that in three editions, Williams probably had the steps down pat, so if you can find a copy of the third edition on sale somewhere, you're probably safe buying that.
