Hi guys, I was wondering if I could fit the above engine into a mini (mk1 maybe morris) with too much modifications and/or hassle? to be honest i don't know too much about minis, just joined lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

Erm, i dont think so mate (without too much hassle that is).

Take a look in the 'non mini engined projects' section.

Edit: Ah, i notice that is where you have posted this....i take it 'without many mods/much hassle' meant you were planning on putting it in teh front?

Welcome to TMF!

£2500 will get u a banger with 100K odd miles...

[james the clubman man]

the price off the GT's has come down dramatically recently, you could pick an engine up from ebay for £450!!!!!

Or just buy a cheap one and strip it all down!!

Iv got a GT now so know quite abit about them, PM me if you need any help or parts!!!

Bloody hell I bet that thing shifts. Iv got a seconed mini that I want to put a non mini engine in. All these choices.

[Mearcat]

Yeah - there are a few of us Aussies who have done the conversion. I have just started one myself and picked up the front cut last week. I have also driven one and YES INDEED THEY ARE QUICK... A stock 4EFTE engine with exhaust only in the Mini kept up with my 305hp (at the wheels) R33 Nissan Skyline turbo when we had a few spritited runs a few months ago. That's no mean feat considering the Skyline does a 13.5sec 1/4 mile.

i had a complete damaged car for £450 a while back with no takers

[redhotmini]

google fensport and toy tuning, both of them can source you a front cut or complete engine. i deal with toy tuning more or less every day as a supplier of O.E toyota parts, and he is going to source me a front cut starlet turbo when ive got the funds to do it. the prices on the fensport website are a bit out of date, best to call them for the right prices as the £ to Yen rate is not good so is pushing up the prices.
