Charlie,
Even without overdrive, the remote shifter on the MGB 4-sync sits high and your going to have to substantially reshape the transmission tunnel to make it fit. That's a ferocious price to pay for a synchronized first gear. If you're going to that much trouble, you might as well go five-speed.
FWIW,
Allen
