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.
