MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Frog questions

Hi All,

I've recently got myself a 1960 frogeye.
The car came with a 1275 engine mated to a smooth case gearbox. Is this OK? I've heard the smoothcase is a little fragile. Should I be looking for a ribcase?

a standard 1275 with just road touring might be fine.
If you do anny thing more exiting then get a ribcase
