MGB Now that I have my 75 MGB running, need advise

I recently got my 75 MGB running; it has been out of commission since I bought it in January. After toying around in it for a while, I came to the realization that the factory 90 crank HP motor just isn’t enough for me. I haven’t decided what motor I am going to swap in yet, more than likely a Toyota 2jzgte, but I need some clarification about a suspension setup that will handle such an increase in power and torque. What exactly have you done or what is necessary to allow the front and rear ends to handle about 300HP?
Should I bolt up an IRS from custom rod works, or will the Special Tuning Anti-roll Bar kits, Anti-Tramp bar kits, and lowering springs from moss motors be sufficient enough?

thank you for your help
 
If you want to convert your car to another engine, it is advisable to convert to something that is time tested and makes the conversion easier and probably less costly. Here's a few sites that might help in your decision.
