Hi there can anyone tell me excuse my ignorance if you can fit a 1275 or 1000 crank into an 1100 engine. It was an A40 Farina engine originally so trying to convert it to fit a mini. The original crank shaft is to short for a mini flywheel and clutch.

 

Can anyone help?

You'll need a 1098 crank. The 3 are all different strokes (they move the pistons up the bore by different amounts).

Technically there's no difference between a 998 engine and a 1098 engine other than the crank and the pistons so yes you can fit a 998 crank into an engine which was once an 1100.... and vice versa an 1100 crank into what was once a 998 engine. However, was not an A40 Block an inline block so there may be other changes you need to make to caps, engine etc to fit a mini crank.

Hi 

it is to much work 

the rear main is different 

and there is no oil seal in the A40 block 

it uses a scroll instead 

also you will have problems with the oil pick up

as there is no place for the o ring that fits

on the mini gearbox

Hi all thanks for your comments, will have to cut my losses keep the head and rocker cover and sell the block, flywheel and front plate
