Supercharged Moggy

1293cc +20 omega piston’d engine. Cam is a copy of v’max mini cam for supercharged mini’s. Front pulley is Maestro 1275 lathed and with adaptor and pulley bolted to front. Blower belt tensioner is rover 214 alternator belt tensioner. All manifolds and other brackets homemade. 10 psi boost at full revs is plenty. Distributor is metro with module mounted remotely to miss starter. Carb is 1 ¾ metro with custom needle. Rad is standard and always been enough. Obviously check fluids regularly but it really doesn’t use or lose anything, it’s a very happy little engine. Comp ratio is 8.0 to 1. Head is a minisport big valve stg 4 ported, nothing special but better than standard.

Gearbox standard type 9 sierra, clutch is from memory sierra 1.3. Release bearing is mondeo 2001 on 1.8 concentric on home made mount. Back axle is Escort mk2 no lsd. Bell housing is a Birmingham unit.

Front torsion bars are thicker from a marina lcv I believe, tele shocks front and rear, cortina mk4 front anti roll bar. Panhard rod on rear homemade. Propshaft made to suit. Pedal box is marina. Front brakes are marina but with ford stud pattern to match rear stud pattern. Wheels are 6 inch minilites with new tyres, asst spare wheel nuts included as they don’t seem to last as long as I’d wish.

Speedo under reads 85 on speedo is about 100 on road. Revs happily to 7k, but 6 ½ is plenty for normal use. To start from cold full choke and as soon as started put in half way. It always takes about 4 seconds of turning to start from cold, if you turn it off while on choke I would always put choke in and keep it running for long enough to get rid of the excess petrol from the bores to stop borewash.

Wiring loom is marina as are switches, stalks, ignition lock.

Load of spare gaskets in boot, carb needles, wheel nuts, new trunnions for when needed, etc. Tin of Trafalgar blue celulose for touch ups as well.

For sale my Supercharged Morris Minor 1293cc.

Good 2 door shell, photos normally make scabby moggies look lovely, this one is actually as good as the photos make it look! The body is clean and tidy, not a concourse queen but nothing worth mentioning scab wise either.

The floor pan inside is painted and has new carpets so no worries about crawling around underneath to look at floor because it shines from above with photos to prove.

The car has a rear roll cage, 5 speed gearbox with a mondeo concentric release bearing so a nice clutch pedal feel unlike the normal Birmingham conversion, escort rear axle, panhard rod, vertical rear shocks, side exit exhaust, front tele shocks, cortina front anti roll bar, marina discs, servo, bucket seats and harnesses and the list goes on.

The engine is a 1293cc low compression build (no spacer plate here), Omega forged pistons, all the right bits inside and balanced. It revs happily to 7k and doesnt drip any oil at all!!!! Electronic ignition, metro carb, new mini supercharger on home made manifolds, etc.

The engine in this is totally happy. I can take the viewers for quite an eye opening ride. Power wise, I was never into pub bragging figures and it runs 10 psi at full chat and will go to the dark side of 100mph easily.

MOT, tax exempt and ready for further development and love by a new owner.

I am trying to sell this as I need to liberate some room on the driveway. I would like to sell this quick Morris, also my saab 95v4 estate and replace both with Morris Traveller that has a tuned 2 litre fiat twin cam engine fitted.

It is fab.
