Hi guys, my first post here :thumbsup:

So i ..err bought a honda civic 1.6 vtec engine (first model) for a £150 and thought this was a bit of a steal but i have no idea about fitting it in a mini. Are there complete ready to buy front end mounts? (not monsterous prices) or will I need to weld a new front end and create some sort of hybrid shaft with the honda driveshaft and the mini hub?

I did a bit of a half effort youtube search and saw one guy who had a video saying he spent over £24k converting his mini. Is this a normal price or can it be done homebuild easily?

Any comments apreciated :)

Check out allspeed engineering, they do subframe kits for the vtec conversion. They also do driveshafts i beleive aswell, but your better off having a look on there site :thumbsup:
