Ken--

Wish I had seen your post earlier when I was over at my shop.  I have an
Elva Courier which has an MGA engine and could have measured for you (MGA's
and B's heads are the same size).

I did find this online at the MG Experience where someone was asking the
same question in similar circumstances:

Center to center on the holes 11"
4 3/4" wide at base
14 7/8" long at base
3 1/2" high at center add 3/4" for filler neck

I thought that 12-3/4 seemed a bit small.  Perhaps it is for a Triumph
Spitfire or the like.

Best--Michael Oritt
