I was curious about this at one point since I have a fresh MGB engine. I
believe the shifter is about 5 inched further back than the Sprite
(measuring the length from the bell housing) The engine may be possible
(didn't check carfully) but I don't think the trans would work... maybe a
Datsun 5 speed? I think there are probably easier engine swaps with closer
to original engine weight and more power than this one. An RX7 block is
slicghtly smaller and I think even weighs less.
