Dereck,
The .80 over pistons aren't 1950 cc conversions. The 1950 cc conversion is
done with 83.5 mm/~3.29" pistons ( which are approximately .130 thou overbore
for the B engine). It was originally done with oversize 83mm lotus pistons I
believe. This conversion has to be approched with caution due to the amount of
metal you're removing from the block.
The .80 overbore pistons will give you a displacement of 1892 cc, or an
increase of about 5 cubic inches ( out from ~110 stock).
You might want to check out the tech. section on Doug Jacksons site,
www.mgbmga.com, for more info. on this.
Harlan.
