Hi Barry, I have the stock MC and an external push type slave from a Toyota truck.  Simple bracket and a couple of holes through existing tabs on the tranny.  Don't have my notes with me to remember the year range but it must be a pretty common part.  Was only about $20 as I recall.  Also, bleed valve points up so easy to bleed.  I got the info from Joe Shafer if memory serves.

Rob's solution is preferable over a HTOB setup. HTOB's are expensive, more prone to setup & overtravel issues and failure and require pulling the xsmn to repair when they do fail.
A 3/4" bore slave with the std 3/4" bore MGB master makes a suitable installation.

I used the stock master cylinder with a push type slave cylinder, with my 302/t5.

If you look at my How it Was Done there are pictures of the set up.  Also I think there has been several discussions on this subject you mite do a search

You could get a lot of info by looking at all of the 302/5.0 conversions in the How It Was Done articles
