MGB GT IS 1.8.
Carbs awill be too large for a 998 and the intake manifold is incorrect.
Sorry

Probably better off sticking the MGB on fleabay and then using the cash to buy bits for the mini. Theres virtually no bits that are interchangeable.

Dont even think id get £200 for it its a complete heap, its been sitting there for years, could be beyond repair. the carbs will probably need a rebuild but just a thought to add some extra go to the mini.

its worth a try, you'd be surprised at what some rot boxes go for on ebay, especially mgb gts!
