    The one I pulled from a 208 isnt too much bigger than an A series engine, the gearbox will of course add some size but won't be too different from the micra and honda engines. It was a ehdi 92 and was incredibly easy to lift around. Has about 92 bhp and 230 nm of torque

    I think with a red conversion it would be silly fun

    The vibration and wheight would be to much for the mini some of the more modern small ones will easily produce over a hundred brake but cost could be a bit high

Is there anything wrong with charging the car with the battery still connected, shouldn't blow the alternator should it?

    Hi shouldn't damage the car would just put extra load on charger if u have any extras like alarm or radio has constant feed these will still pull a small amount of current even though turned off I would pull a lead off if ya don't want to do that just make sure ur charger has overload protection

    Use trickle charge only, don't use a fast charge facility if you charger has one.
