If you're gonna swap another engine into the Met, why pick the only engine out there that's probably more intiquated than the original.
The MGB is a pushrod engine, with electrics by Lucas (the prince of darkness) that is reliable if it doesn't rain within 200 miles.
There are a bunch of DOHC 4 bangers out there that bolt right up to 5 speeds and would move that Met down the road smartly.
Get something with a carb so you don't have to change the fuel system and wire in a computer.
Cheapest thing I can think of is a Fiat 1.8 DOHC with the Weber carb and 5 speed tranny. Probably pick up everything you need for $500.
