I fitted 2.0 8v vauxhalls into my novas brilliant engine, you will have to change tanks due to having a carb and going to injection so you need a return line, you will need a fuel pump usually cavalier, your gonna need custom shafts etc...

 

Are you going for SEH or NE lump?

If you buy an all speed kit then you will get everything you need to fit it into a mini. This will be the easiest way to do it. As you will be using the vauxhall gearbox and linkage the auto to manual problem isn't an issue.

 

I'd also advise (and I've learnt from experience) that you are better to buy a complete donor car as then you can raid it of everything you need.

 

Check out MattG's build over on 16v mini club (link below) on how to fit a 2 litre 8V engine into a mini. He turboed his as well.

If you really want someone else to do it a mate of mine has his own engineering company and does everything from car modification to bespoke fabrication. He may be able to help you. PM me if you are interested and I can send you his details.
