Borg Warner T5 5-speed Overdrive ratio is .73.  With the 3.07 rear end.  Filled with ATF.  This T5 came from a 92 Trans Am.  The bell housing was made buy Trans Adapt and I found it new on Ebay.  Since I was using an Automatic Rover V8, the input shaft would not slide as far into the crank as it would a manual crank.  I had to make some aluminum spacers to bridge the gap.  This was advantageous because it placed my shifter right in the same place the original MGB shifter protruded.  The engine turns 2000 at 70 MPH in fifth gear.

Drive shaft  Custom-made, heavy duty steel driveshaft.

Clutch  Standard Chevy clutch. 9 11/16" Clutch and a 10 1/2" long style pressure plate.  Standard 3/4" MGB master cylinder.  The Throughout bearing is hydraulic made by Quarter Master P/N 720100.  It is a great design and very high quality.  I bought it from the Car Shop online.  I had to use a 3/16" brake line to join the hydraulic bearing to the master cylinder.  The stock 1/4 line was to large.

Flywheel  The flywheel was a light Billet steel unit made buy Weber Performance and bought from D&D Fab.  The engine revs freely and has better response.

Mounting  Used the standard MGB rear mount cross member.  I cut all the bits off of it and just drilled a slot so I could have a little adjustment if needed.  I used the stock GM mount.
