I've been checking specs on some TBI vehicles and without going to a
junkyard to confirm I believe the easiest conversion maybe a 2.2L
Chysler.
Heres why. The carbed version used a Holley Licensed Weber that I
believe is the same as the downdraft weber used on MGBs. Later vehicles
had TBI and may have used the same intake manifold. If so the throttle
body should bolt on with out mods. These engines were rated for 93hp at
over a little over 5000rpm and around 120 ft-lbs at around 3500rpm.
This should be a good match for the B.
Don't know how easy (or difficult) mpoar injection is to work with but
plenty were made it could be worth a try.
