sounds ambitious! good luck with it and be sure to document the process for all of us to learn from!

i have heard of shadetree, but i don't know much about them. did you get the crossflow head? let me know how it works out for you. that might be a possibility for me if the Zetec conversion is too much work.

as for trannies, i was planning on using a BorgWarner T5 from an 80's era Camaro for my project. bell housings are available to bolt right up to the MGB 1800cc engine without much extra work. the prop-shaft may have to be modified on a 3-main, IIRC. and the driveshaft may also have to be shortened. the other option would be to fit an MGB 4 speed with overdrive. the final option would be a Ford MT75 with bellhousing adapter plate. that will fit under the tranny tunnel of a B, but not sure about an A.
