Scot,

A road tuned 3.5V8 should give 220bhp. The first requirement is a totally restored or new shell.

Check the conversion details on this site, and also under What's New - read articles on MG Owners Supersports a 4.6V8 conversion (mostly in 2000).

If still keen and you can source your required engine, buy the book (bible) How to give your MGB V8 Power by Roger Williams.
