The B is a '67. The A, however, has a 3 main MGB motor with a 1500 head
(which doesn't breathe as well, but seems to work fine at my altitude -
4800ft). I also put in MGB rear axle gearing. So, theoretically, they
should perform identically, with the exception of weight, and I think the B
is lighter. But then again 5 bearings vs. three means more friction. I
really haven't been able to figure out why the A performs better, but it
does.
