Welcome to the forum Jonas,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

That's going to be difficult to physically fit in the engine bay of an MGB and a nightmare to get the electronics to work. However, given sufficient time and money - anything is possible! Members in the X350 tech forum XJ XJ6 / XJ8 / XJR ( X350 & X358 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum will be able to advise how the engine management system goes together.

Good luck.

Graham

Using that means using the other networked modules - probably not realistic.

(ABS, TCM, ICM, etc.)

They in turn will want the associated parts e.g. the autobox.
