Well I have to coment on this one;
<< I don't have a B, but if I remember correctly the '64 would have the 3
main
bearing engine. This could be a bargaining point, as it isn't as durable as
the newer 5 main. Use your Moss or Vic. Brit. catalog to get a list of
parts
that will definitely need to be replaced and add up the cost.

I have had a 1964 MGB 3 main, for 8 years now, and run it just as hard as I
run my V8, I have never had a problem aside from needing to be rebuilt after
30 some odd years of driving the roads on the east coast. This is a fantastic
little engine that for some reason, people think they have to baby them. I
would never consider any price differance to the lesser due to an MG having a
3 main.
