There is lots of information about this in NAMGAR literature. See their
website. I put a MGB engine into my MkII a couple of years ago, but I
used the original tranny.
Short answer if you want to put both the MGB tranny and engine in
together:
The motor mounts are fine. Your problem will be with the tranny. You'll
have to fabricate a different mount for it, and yes, you'll need a
shortened driveshaft.
You'll also need to use the MGA exhaust manifold or headers or alter the
MGB one.
Other than that, it is pretty straightforward.
