Jensen Healey 3.4L V6 - First time the engine has Run in 20 years
มุมมอง 1.5K8 ปีที่แล้ว
A very quick (and Unedited) video of The First Run of the Jensen Healey V6. The injectors have not been controlled in 20 years so it can be heard that the engine is not firing on all injectors quite yet. This is common for setting injectors. Running the engine for a while by itself will commonly cure this, especially as clean petrol will now sit in the rail. Many of these exact engines (1993-95...

Torque baby yeah its probably only like 200 to 225 but thats all you need to move those cars. I got 168hp out of my 2.8 in a firebird but i did alot to it . The cam and hooker super competition long tube headers jet hot coated and 1.52 roller rockers no cat and true duels is what woke it up. Plus bored 30over so i think i was close to 200hp at rhe flywheel.. had a 700r4 and B&M shift kit in it too. Jacobs pro street ignition and ultra coil . I wish i would have done the 3.4 3500 hybrid though. Anyways i got 33mpg on the hwy. Very good gas mileage and it chirped the tires in 1st and 2nd when you floored it. Couldn't do it when it went into drive though not enough power. Still it was a fun build project and had rhe car for 22 years

Neat, another MN MG guy! I'm up in Duluth with a stock 1600 Roadster. Planning to sell my motorcycle and tear into it next winter. Crossflow head and dual DCOE port injection throttle bodies. Not sure what direction I want to go ECM wise but it should make for a cool car. I'll be using an 1800cc as my base. How extreme can you go with these and keep it streetable? 4 throttle bodies should wake it way up from what it is now I am thinking. Think 160hp is possible out of one N/A?
The listed website isn’t complete yet. Other than contact info there is no information listed yet. I’ll call for pricing. Would rather see it listed with various options.
BLINDING!
Beautiful car
Awesome! Did you make any suspension modifications?
Although many would love to hear about newer suspension and brake systems, suspension modifications on the MGA are not required as the driveline weighs about the same. We recommend polyurethane bushings, wider wheels, and an anti-roll bar up front, as we would with the stock driveline anyways. On earlier MGAs with four wheel drum brakes, it is best to convert to either later MGA front disc brakes, or MGB front disc and rear drum (as they adjust more precisely) for better brakes overall.
Garbage vid shows nothing!
Very Nice!!! more videos
I want to see more!!!
I need mounts to mount an LS V8 in a 79 MG.
You need forged pistons to get 84 whp? I don't get it. Couldn't you just get there with dual webers and a cat delete?
I want to have a small light natural aspiration old school engine with a carburetor with 150 horse . 5 speed trans?
Have you used lizard skin spray?
We have not. There are many good products on the market, and we do not have one that we endorse as there are decent types and applications vary from car to car.
BMCC75 I’m doing a full rebuild of a TR, and yes there are many products out there. Because of that, it’s difficult to sort through them all. I am thinking about using the lizard skin on the floor and firewall because it’s an easy spray, and you know how hot it gets around the engine tunnel. Want to reduce roasting my feet and reduce noise. Thanks
@@kenjackson4177 As mentioned in the video, any product can do well at sound reduction or reduce energy (heat/cold) transference but none of them are really great at both. We treat sound deadening differently than we do energy transference materials. The material used in the video is mostly for sound, but does help slightly with heat. I'm sorry I don't have any studies that I can point you towards.
Minor point...it's not a 6 speed because 3rd gear with overdrive is virtually identical to regular 4th gear. You would engage O/D after 4th gear....then you stay in O/D, shifting between what is effectively 5th gear (4th w/ O/D) or 4th gear (3rd w/ O/D) as needed.
I have a 70 G.T. and it looks just like this one, I also have a 76 roadster convertible love me M.G.s😎
They are great looking cars. The later front spoiler was used on this one for additional cooling and you can just see the 'webasto' type soft top inside and out.
A V8 wouldn't fit??????
This engine conversion began when the 95 3.4L was a new engine and then sat for a number of years elsewhere. We recently finished the conversion. In the mid 1990's even though a much heavier 350 Chevy would fit with a bit of bodywork, the owner still wanted the car to handle well and the 350 V8 of the mid 1980's had about as much BHP as this 1993-95 3.4L produced. With a few modifications, the engine, like any other engine, will produce even more power if desired, and still in a lighter, tighter package.
BMCC75 thanks.I have a 305 and found a Jensen Healey body for $350. Was just wondering
I would consider an LS4 FWD engine connected to a bellhousing from the GM V6 engine family with either a later higher torque V6 T5 or a V8 T5. This would give you an aluminium engine with a 303BHP and I believe 330 lbs torque if a V8 is a must. We have assist in a lot of 3.4L Conversions and a few other types as well but for an engine bay as large as this with a smaller opening for the bellhousing, the LS4 that has the smaller bellhousing bolt pattern looks like it might be somewhat ideal and has already been done in other British cars already. The J-H engine bay such as you have allows for more engine than many small British Sports Cars but don't forget, British cars are generally known for handling- go ahead and add power but not at the cost of handling.
Junk motor. Snatch up an ls or a modern Japanese 6 cylinder motor.
Wonderful! Thanks so much.
I want to see a video of this car running down the road
In the UK, I rode in a Magnette in 1959 that was new. I have never seen on in America.
hi....i am trying to find the color code for the body ....if a hear him right its barret color but nothing shows up on the net......need help please....just love the color scheme....
yet another great day
Imagine an MGB with an Alfa Romeo V6
Why?
@@TheRealCheckmate double the stock hp and it sounds better than pretty much anything with less than 12 cylinders.
How much work is it to convert the MGB? There are lots of resources online, and I'm reading through them. Looking to put the 3.4 in a 70's chrome bumper MGB. Other than a little hammering on the tunnel and some engine mount work, it doesn't look that complicated when using the kit available. Was there any serious fabrication work involved? Do you keep the suspension?
I'm about to do the 3.4L V6 Conversion in my '79. I just purchased a brand new crate engine from GM and a r rebuilt T5 transmission from a local builder. There is extremely little fabrication needed. You can get the swap kit ( AS Headers, motor mounts and the rest for $750 ) . There may be some hammering in the trans tunnel, but not much at all. Oh, I'm using the V8 MAN front bushings and tube shocks, but that's hardly worth mentioning because of ease. I was going to do an '87 Thunderbird 2.3L Turbo swap, but too much fab work for me. The 60° 3.4 Chevy is a great engine and will mate well with the Holley 390can. It'll be rebuilding the one 1.8l, just in case. I have the 5 speed. OD trans that I recently rebuilt. You never know...I may decide d e to go back to semi OEM
I haven't found a 3.4 crate in stock in the last 3 years. where did you find one. they stopped making them
Want one......
Owned a '60 twin cam........wish i had it back... :O)
LOVE the sound of that motor!
I had a TR6 in the early 70s. It is a real mans car. Drives like a sports car Feels like a sports car. I had wire wheels on mine. Awesome car.
Have you seen the tr6 on carbones car painting channel ? Can you please advise how much to pay for one in that state ?
thanks
Brian, How did you do the A/C? I thought I saw the evaporator behind the seats??
Does a 1977 4 cylinder mgb have points
Originally yes. A 25D4 or 45D4 lucas distributor with vacuum advance.
I have an MGB GT and an old 1967 Rover P6. I fitted LED bulbs to them and removed them within a week. Yes they are bright, but they just look too chavy (that's an English expression, perhaps lost in the US) Also should point out, that they are illegal in the UK and most of Europe unless CE marked
The LED bulbs, in comparison to Classic Auto LEDs boards are the same difference as going from a candle to an incandescent bulb- there is such a huge difference between an "LED Bulb" and the Classic Auto LEDs boards, that it just doesn't make sense to compare them. Check out what people say on the MG Experience forums. To this day, there is nothing Brighter, and since it uses the entire tail light housing, it gives Literal Volume in light so fellow drivers will see the MGB, or Spridget with these lights.
They look too pink
Why care about that? If someone doesn’t slam into the rear of the car....good! Yes?
In the Camera only. Cameras and video cameras do not pick up the same way the human eye does. When you are behind this car, you will see red. If the lens was not in place, it would be the same red as the incandescent bulbs, only it would leave you with spots in your vision if staring from right behind the car.

@paul austin That's the dumbest statement in the history of the world. Signed: Donald Triump
Hmmm, I will have to look into it more. I think my grandfather's MG could benefit indefinitely from a set.
With the white car, could the signals be wired like an older American car, where the brake lights also function as the turn signal to make them much more noticeable?
I wired that up on my Renault Megane a few years back. It's actually a much better way of doing it, imo. This way the brake lights never phantom out the turn signals. Also when a bulb blows, you get hyperflash to warn you when a brake lamp is blown, because it uses the same filament. Here is what I made: th-cam.com/video/W4vFZX5QrWs/w-d-xo.html
Fuck off, moron. Who cares what you think??
A 'trailer queen' - pathetic. (74 blue MGB/GT)
What do you think is the most I can get out of the B block?
Hi great video...great car!! My 74 TR6 wont come up to temperature and consequently runs cold @ 1/3 to 1/4 on the temp guage. Do you think this a thermostat problem?? Any help will be greatly appreciated. cheers.
@themaltbar (6 years later!) Could be a thermostat, could also be a tired voltage stabilizer...see if your fuel gage also reads low (like reading 1/2 tank when full).
that thing must be fun as shit
Its Fohrenkamm :)
Brian is truly of of the best mechanics out there if only he was in Florida I would have saved a few dollars. I'm not surprised that this car started on the first go and if you are obviously you have not met Brian from BMC. Keep up the good work and keep exposing these fake mechanics (handy men at best) with your extensive knowledge, class and fantastic work.
Does your entire shop smell of burned wiring? j/k! Beautiful car!
Is that grille stock? It looks like it's aftermarket, if it is, can you tell me the manufacturer and if it would fit a TR250?
sooo coool!!
@BMCC75 FWIW you don't believe me. Ok. Fine. I am not peddling engine upgrades I sell MGBCalendars. I have nothing to gain or lose relative to your video, and no way to post my Dyno results here. You do not believe me. So what now?
@BMCC75 Well let's see... 4000 pound roller... check At least now you have more HP and Torque than in the video. I would trade a few horses for a few ft pounds. Your car wasn't happy pushing the roller? Shouldn't have been a problem with good tires and it should have pulled solid all the way up the RPM scale. I also noted you did the test in third rather than fourth. Different Dynos Different Days but they should still be ball park. Lots of toys on that engine for 5 foot pounds of torque.
