completely replaced as in ... Jag rear-end and modern upper and lower wishbones front sus or with a "Fast Cars Inc." IFS ( https://www.britishv8.org/Articles/MGB-Front-Suspension-Upgrade.htm )?

Or are ya just talking the 'normal' lowered suspension with uprated springs, sway bars, bushings and the like?

im thinking totally swapped out parts

the fast cars stuff an modern rear suspension to handle the added power with a modern fuel injected motor and a five or six speed gearbox
would do the trick

WOW that's one heck of a suspension.

Just finishing up a V6, 5 speed conversion. No suspension changes as there is virtually no weight change.
It goes.

Grassroots Motorsports magazine has this series on slapping a Miata drivetrain in a 73 B, very interesting.

I have one that's totally restomoded - completely different front suspension (Hawkes Engineering in the UK), rear end tricked out w/disc brakes, panhard bar, anti-tramp bars, 1-piece composite springs....V8, 5-speed, custom bodywork...etc, etc. etc.

WOW that's one heck of a suspension.

I've driven a couple of MGBs with this suspension....a FANTASTIC experience....of course, they also had V8s (one a Buick 300, the other a crate engine Ford 302), both with T5's.
