BRM, are you spending all that cash on the B series or putting something else in?
Because if you are planning custom fuel injection anyway there must be any number of rusty cheap Rover 820s with a good strong 16 valve motor that will bolt straight in to the existing gearbox and engine mounts. 140bhp as standard with potential for a lot more. There was a longitudinal version in the Discovery with an inlet manifold facing the right way. (They used the FWD version in the Morgan with a long trunking going round to the front.)
