BMC B-Series Tuning
Considering the abundance of parts available and the various makes/marques this unit has ended up in over the years, I'm curious about what are the alternatives for getting more power from the 1500cc(ish) B series engines these days and what sort of figures people are getting.
Aside from the obvious which would be replace block/head with the 1800...maybe I've answered my own question ![]() Speaking mainly of road going cars so keeping some reliability in mind. Are the period BMC Comps Manuals essentially still the benchmark today or have there been much further developments? |

Thanks for that but been there, I'm already an MGCC member, etc... just wanted to see if there's a different perspective from the historic racing clan here

The only time I have been involved with the old B series was many moons ago, and back then the cylinder head porting was one of the most important to improve power.
However if you have a year to spare read this ![]() ![]() |
