If you go to the aussie mini site you'll find a Charde turbo conversion in a round nose. I'm pretty sure no body work needed altering because I remember thinking it was something I might look into.
Only cons are that a 3 cylinder engine wont be as smooth as a 4 (but then again compared to an A series the surface of the moon is smooth!) and finding one. They're quite rare I think.
