In short - what mods/swaps do I need to marry up a FWD A-series engine to a RWD Morris minor gearbox? I've got a seized RWD A-series engine to rob bits off if need be - can it be done or not? Ta again fellers.  |

There is quite a lot changed - Crank nose and sump to start with. Block is machined different too.

I think that'll be a 'no-go' then. Aah well, thanks. |

The Maestro engine needs its crank machining to fit a RWD box.
Talk to Jonathon at JLH Morris Minors, as he knows what needs to be done.

Early Datsun/Nissan 'A' engines are a bolt-in swap. Common in Oz for repowering Morris 1000s.

It can be done and as a PP said speak to Jonathan at JLH as he has all the gen on these conversions just depends on how much time you have spare and how deep your wallet is. You can pick up a used 1098 Morris 1000 engine quite cheaply £100-£150 that you might be able to fit right away depending on the condition or Marina/Midget engines will also fit with some work and if you can find a 1275 then you get a wee bit more ooomph.

It's fairly self-explanatory, it's any engine from the Nissan A-series engine family, ie. A10, A12, A13 and A14. They were fitted to all sorts of Datsuns like the 120Y/140Y or the Sunny/Pulsar/Cherry depending on where you live. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_A_engineFor example, an A14:   |
