Possible, but why? The only reason I can think of is you need more than
36 amps output, and don't want to spring for a 25ACR.

The easy way is to snarf an overdrive MGB box. Converting to any other
box would require massive amounts of machining and fabrication.

Very possible. But the siamesed ports of the stock B head will require
the use of TBI. Or... you could use one of those fabled eight-port heads
and *real* injection (port). In my book, nothing beats a pair of HIF44's
(formerly called HIF6) on a street B.
