I believe GM's 2.5 liter produced around 90 hp. Most engines are close
to the same effiency when it comes to hp production (~0.5 lbs of fuel
per hour for each hp produced). I'm not sure at what rpm the GM's
produced peak power. Since most EFI's use engine rpm as a main input I
believe what you want to do is find a vehicle whose hp vs rpm curve
closely matches the MGB's (~90hp at 5400 and 110 ft lbs at
3000(60hp)). I'll check my references for the GM, Mopar and Ford
engines at work tomorrow.
