Doc, hmmmm would there be similar level of stuffing around fitting the K1 head as there would be to fitting the K1 motor to a mini gearbox? Pardon my ignorance but what is involved in fitting another motor to the mini gearbox?

My thoughts exactly. Mind you, then you have more BMW parts in there... :lol:

Not seen a K motor, might be made to fit, might not. I do know they run anti-clockwise though- nothing some new cams and ingenuity can't fix.. :lol:

:shock:

It has all been tried before ....but...why would you want to stick anything but an A Series block on top of that gearbox????

Fiddle to your hearts content with XFlo heads etc but man.....if you going radical then think about a Supercharger, Honda or Suzuki transplant is my advice... :?

Probably would be easier to fit the K motor to a jap box than a Mini one.

Not that I like hybrid Minis anyway.

Putting the K100 or K1100 head on an A series involves a lot of work- I believe 2 head studs do line up (sort-of) the rest don't. Then you need to totally build a cam drive system... oil drains, etc, etc... worth it? I dunno. I'll stay with A series... :lol:

Those are old pics- Matt's now thrown away the chain drive to the cams- he's fitted a timing belt system. Posted a pic on MM site a little while back. :wink:
