Randy Brown sends this report of his 1958 MGA with a Mazda Rotary power, a 1982 RX7 12 A engine that delivers about 200 HP. It rests on stock MGA motor mounts, has a Delorto carburetor, handmade header, a RX7 4 speed transmission, MGB front suspension and disc brakes, a custom driveshaft with RX7 front u-joint and Datsun 280Z rear u-joint and yoke. The only permanent changes to the car are at the rear transmission mount where the tower was cut out and a stock RX7 trans mount used. The floorboard on the drivers side was narrowed to clear the starter. The only outward appearance is the grill badge to hint at the beast within. According to Randy the MGA is very fast feels more like a motorcycle than a car.
