I did a little searching on E-bay and found a suspension housing in California that the guts had been taken out of. I ended up winning the auction for $1 and paying the shipping to have it sent to me. The housing looks great and I am reconditioning and alteriing the parts taken off the rust bucket and placing them in the new housing.  To cut the housing down, I simply identified the center point on the housing with a paint pen, measured the width of the MGB body (between the fender wells on the indide -34") and marked 17" outward from the ceter mark. Then I cut off everything beyond the 17" point, which worked fine because the shock and other mounting points are all inside that measurement.  The battery box and the mounts for the rear sway bar had to be cut off to make room for the suspension housing. The batter will be relocated to the trunk.

The differential is actually a Dana 44 one, which is great! They are used by hardcore off roaders because they are very hard to break. This one has a gear ratio of 2.89 and had a limited slip mechanism inside that is like positraction, only it lets the wheel slip a little to aid in cornering.  The ideal ratio would be 3.07, but this is not far enough off to be too concerned about.  Gear sets can be changed out without a lot of trouble anyway.  I have seen hot rod sites that claim that  these suspensions will withstand 500 horsepower, so my 230 or so shouldn't break it.  This is what it looks like now (02/17/2005) (no shocks or axles):
