| Well after much searching I was
able to find a bunch (but not all) of the original photos from the engine swap between YB and OB. What I was able to find is now here, minus all the text descriptions of the trials and tribulations of installing MGB engines. The original swap took place back in 1998, primarily because YB had the an overdrive transmission and the engine had been tweaked just a bit.

 The original compartment as purchased was all flat black and a mess as far as wiring was concerned. The air pump was frozen, the rubber oil cooler lines were showing signs of age.
|
 After the swap. The entire engine compartment was repainted while the engines were out. The stainless steel braided oil lines as well as thealuminum valve cover came from YB. Those are also brand new AUD405 HS4's behind the K&N MG logo'ed filter plate. |

 |
 YB as purchased. (before any dis-assembly) Weber DGV, aluminum valve cover, stainless steel line oil cooler. |
 |
 YB in initial state of dis-assembly in prep for the engine and tranny swap. |
 |
| Check the updates page for a complete list of all the stuff done to OB's engine compartment. |
 YB after the swap with not much left to get her running again as well. |
 The block back in OBie. Just waiting for the ancillaries, radiator and etc. |
 All Done...all shined up including the polished carbs and valve cover. I use brass and copper piping for all the carb plumbing. I think It looks a lot cleaner without all the rubber hoses. |
