Ken--
Wish I had seen your post earlier when I was over at my shop. I have an
Elva Courier which has an MGA engine and could have measured for you (MGA's
and B's heads are the same size).
I did find this online at the MG Experience where someone was asking the
same question in similar circumstances:
Center to center on the holes 11"
4 3/4" wide at base
14 7/8" long at base
3 1/2" high at center add 3/4" for filler neck
I thought that 12-3/4 seemed a bit small. Perhaps it is for a Triumph
Spitfire or the like.
Best--Michael Oritt
