soon i should have a 1275 engine, that i will need to re-build. im thinking whilst im there, getting it bored out to 1380, but i cant find a thread. has anyone got any advise on how i would go about this?. all i know is, bore out, new pistons and adjust carbs...my knowledge is minimal.

    If you exercise a little patience in gathering the parts it can be achieved fairly cheaply.

    i think ill just stick to the 1275 and have it reconditioned. and as you say collect up the parts gradually, get all the parts together, then fit it. can you fit a dump valve to the turbos? that would be pretty mad

    Yep, you can. Even one that makes a pleasing Tshhh noise if you like ;-)
