I am considering doing an engine swap on my current mini (1275) found this kit online for sale
http://dundee.craigs...4929808345.html
Looks a good deal to me but was wanting some opinions of people in the know. I am reasonably mechanically minded but think fitting this would be beyond me. Anyone have any contacts/experienced garages that would carry out the conversion? The closer to Glasgow the better. Cheers

Bargain price as standard kit without engine is £3,500 but looks like it's an old post doing one myself just in car strip down and still looking for a suitable r1 motor and loom

That is seriously cheap. Too far for me otherwise I would snap it up.

Yes indeed...That is seriously cheap. Too far for me otherwise I would snap it up.
Additionally the engine has even a very low mileage (under 10k) and a Barnett clutch is fitted too. So I couldn't resist anymore and got the total package
That means I have 4 engines now for my track tool, that should last a while....
Wanted to go the Lynx route but for this bargain price I somehow will live with the low sump clearance of the promotive kit
So a totally new Lynx cradle is up for sale, can supply reverse gear motor too. PN me if you interested.
