Not entirely true. They did attempt the MGC in 1967, essentially a B
with a new 3-liter 6 wedged in and the suspension modified as
required for it to fit. The MGC was not a success but it was at
least an effort. And they built the MGB-GT V8 in 1973, a car never
sold in the US. Curious that they'd still call it a B with the new
engine. But then, the name MGB-GT was a known identity even if it
was a mouthful to say.
