The B-Series engine is much heavier than the A-Series and produces a lot more torque, which will very likely destroy the halfshafts in no time. The link is to someone who did it, and found, very predictably, that the heavier engine created a lot of understeer, particularly in the wet, which is not a very desirable driving characteristic!

What do you want to achieve with the B-Series that cannot be achieved with a modified A-Series?

it would be no more work to fit a lighter, newer, better engine, probably cheaper too. Certainly be better for handling.
