I'm trying to find an engine for my brother's Mini, as the 998 just isn't fast enough. Does anyone have anything lying around or know of anything? Prefer something along the lines on an MG lump, standard & cheaper the better, as we're going to build it ourselves, but anything considered
Thank you all muchly

Getting very hard to find now - especially decent unleaded ones.

I know, we've got feeler's out at all our local scrappies & mini/metro garage, but worth asking anywhere

Why don't you try and find a non MG 1275cc A+ ?
If you're really desperate for extra horses you could then source an MG cam (or buy a 266 from Kent) and get some head work done.

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

Doh - gave away a 1275 A+ engine and box couple of months ago...

'79 MG Midget 1500 - Still patiently awaiting attention
'02 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elegance(!) - Better than you might think
'03 Mazda MX5 - All new and shiny looking (thanks to Antony at Rust Republic)
'09 Renault Clio - Needs to go.

That would do nicely, but even they are proving hard to find! As it's going to be rebult, it'll have a cam put in it anyway. Wish he was looking then filmidget! Only in Notts too!

Got an Austin 1100 in Southport low miles will ask mate how much if interested. Not as tuneable as 1000 or 1275 but could be cheap. Ian

Mini Specialist near Calverton? Didn't know of anyone round here, esp not that close!
Will investigate.
Thanks for all your help
