David,
From what I've gleaned over the years (i.e., no direct experience),
the B engine is too heavy for the power that it provides. I
understand that your question probably isn't whether the B is a
better engine for the spridget but rather is it possible to insert.
It's probably possible, but I guess I would sell or trade for a
decent 1275.
