Dan,
The only Holley carbs I've seen are on the V-8 versions. I can't
think of which holley would be suitable for a 2-litre 'B, since
I don't know what the CFM specs are for the "typical" MGB carbs, but
I would think that even a 450 CFM Holley would be overkill.

My '86 Plymouth Turismo, venerable grandfather of 'problem cars' was
fitted with a two barrel Holley carb, as were all of those little
buggers. It is an electric choke, and they needed to have a certain
modification done internally to run right, but I'm not sure what. I
have three of the carbs with one manifold sitting around. If anyone
knows of a modification, I'd like to hear it...
