You can indeed use an MGB design, though it's not all that wonderful.  
If I were going to use a non-TR setup it would be a Ford, like every  
hotrodder and low bucks racer in the world uses. Lots of cheap  
performance parts available both new and used. You can get parts for  
nine bolt ford posi's at Napa. I've seen complete 9" ford rear ends  
with good bearings and posi clutches for $300 at swap meets. Been very  
tempted, especially for Peyote and Ambro. There's a million machinists  
that have narrowed them. Why would you screw around with a brit unit  
that is almost equally fragile. I bet the MG rear end weighs almost as  
much as a 9". It's cast iron, just like a 9" or a TR.
