Chris, that's a MGBGT... with a V-8 ?  Did someone build it or did they come that way ?
It's an MGB roadster - they did make GTs with V8s but I converted it myself with a Rover (ex Buick) V8 with high compression Vitesse pistons, manifolds & carbs from the factory GT V8,  a five speed manual box and a 3.3 to 1 axle - top speed is  137mph and 0 to 60 in about 6 secs ...- I have owned it since 1977.

This is the engine & box just before i put it in the car:
