Becarefull if you decide to swap engines.
I am assuming you mean to a V6 or V8 or late model overhead cam 4.
With a 79 you will end up with a night mare as far as smog goes.
Any car with a an engine swap and a title after 75 becomes unsaleable in
California unless you incorperate all the smog requirements for the year of
the engine.
just my opinion

Subject: [Nobbc] Local MGB repair/modification
We have a 1979 MGB with a throwout bearing that is going out. We've thought
about several things including tranny swap to a 5 speed, engine and tranny
swap
to a ? engine with a 5 speed, getting a tranny with an overdrive or just
repairing the throwout bearing. We would like to hear any opinions and
would
be
interested in local repair shops to talk to or any information on engine
swaps.
Thanks.
