yea but it'd be hard work.

ANYTHING is possible if you try hard enough! I dont know how big the bini engine is, it may require makin the front end longer/taller/wider, i dont know

engine in the back most likely.

I think I saw a bini engined clubman project on ebay a few months ago, it had been widened hugely to get the engine to fit though, and used the bmw's brakes and some other bits. It did look pretty cool though!

the impossible takes longer and costs more

Hmm I was wondering this the other day on my travels home

I was also wondering if anyone has ever put a mazda engine in a mini?

Or a TT engine

had a cooper s (i think) engine in the front, and one for the back.

had a really high reserve and it never sold. not sure what happened to it.

so many better alternatives out there.

for performance alone there are many verients of v8 out there to go into the back.

Supercharger not on yet, getting it from Morspeed, but it should be around 70bhp in the end on my 998.
