Keith, I have a B20 in my 444. I used the 007 Dizzy with pertronix. I have a very old breather from the B18 on the B20 with silicone and rubber washer making up the difference. For carbs I chose SU's and have many many happy miles with them and just freeze plugged the injector ports.I am in the process of sorting out a pair of Weber 40 DCOE's. Exhaust is a racing header for both SU or Weber DCOE. I would also look at an overdrive or rear axle ratio when you put the B20 in there. You'll want to go fast but the revs are pretty high with a 4.56 rear axle. I have OD and a 1800ES axle from an automatic (3.91 ) so I have a 20% (.79)reduction (M41) to get a 3.12 for final drive.And... Don't forget ....if youplan to drive much...unleaded fuel can hurt your motor.
