Can't say that I have the Burgess book. I think a quality rebuild is
about all you can do to help the MGB, that is, without major dollar
allocation. I want to learn general theory that is fundamental to
engines, whether they are inline fours, flat fours, flat sixes, small
and big block V8s. Notice that I skipped the V6. The only thing going
for the V6 is the better emissions, but that's my very limited
experience.
Vizard is highly regarded, and Fred Puhn's book is a mainstay among
millions of auto enthusiasts. I also like Henry Watts book about
autocrossing. The fact he's a P-car fan doesn't hurt, either. :)
Take care
