Wow, how much is enough one must wonder?  What does an MGB weigh, 2100 lbs?
How about just a plain simple blue-printed 350 ci. short block.  Should
put out ~250 bhp without problem, more with a good manifold and 4bbl.
Cheap, (~$1100 last time I looked, pick up the rest of the drive train
at any junk yard), and it will go forever.
