Mini Mayfair
1984

Hi, I took my mini off the road about 6 months ago to renovate it plus do some modifications etc. One of my friends has said i can have his 1.6l out of a MK1 MR2 that he is selling. This is obviously down to if it will fit in my mini, I was just wondering if anybody could shed some light on to wither this was a viable project or not. My biggest thought is the fact that its designed to be a MR engine, and will this effect how it goes in my engine bay or how it is mounted? as i don't have the funds to go all out on dropping it on the back axle.

Thank you for any reply
Tom

It's not the easiest of conversions into a mini, but do-able
