MG MGB Technical - New engine conversion?

Hi Guys
I was in our local pick and pull on Friday getting something for work when i noticed a vast amount of Toyota Supras with the DOHC 6 pot. Base the idea on the MGC and you have another interesting conversion, they as we know came with a 5 speed as well! Has anybody done/tried/failed/succeeded with this concept. Another one was the turbo 4 pot Starion/Conquest engine. This is virtually the same size as the B engine and can produce over 435hp in race trim. 300hp would be an easy thing to make and look after if it would fit. Anybody tried etc etc etc!!!
Hey it's Sunday and i was just thinking out aloud OK!
Now I must fit that new valve cover gasket, some new stainless hoses, and rebuild the clutch and brake master cylinders. What a fun day.
