eep, sorry to hear that.

yeah i thought i'd make up my own mind, but its still fun to see what people think

can you go bigger than 1310 might be worth a try

well it has to go bigger as the 1310 bore wouldnt be very good by now..
if i go that route its gonna be the minimum overbore so 1330 or 1360 sommit like that.

1360 is da bomb, & you can still go 1380 next time..

I voted 1132+SC.

Only because I'm trying to do the 1310+SC setup myself

I reckon if you are going to go to all the effort of making your Mini faster, why not start with the most powerful engine available, then it can only get faster! Plus you dont want to look back a year down the road and wish you had done it the other way. He hasnt mentioned that we have spent A LOT of money on both motors, so either way one isnt going to get used

There will always be a better way/cheaper/faster motor.

Ryan, have you seriously considered the 4EFTE conversion?
Bags of power, not very expensive.
How much are you budgeting for the new engine build? I can almost guarantee you'll go over budget.

i dont have enough money, time, patience and or skill

just buy a late model, low mileage, low compression ratio stockie 1275

put good spinning bits in it and you'll be smiling like this happy chappy...

well..
lets just say the 1310 is getting rebuilt,
a cam and pistons from graham russell, and the rest from adrian at morris mania..

the 1310 wasnt too bad, its got the right crank and rods..






i reckon we'll look out for a roundy with a half decent shell that needs a new motor for my 1132...

so we got a roundy for my 1132 muahahahaha!

and the 1310 is still waiting, waited a couple months for GR pistons and RE-13 cam which i needed before machining could commence, then had to wait over xmas

having problems with my RE pistons at the moment, but its too late to do anything about it as they're fitted to my rods, and balanced and the block has been machined for them

still waiting.. i hope to have it back before minis at the bay which is 14th march...

okay my motor is back together ,
hopefully will be back in my mini next week and i can put some miles on it

Looking good - looking very good. Bet you can't wait to finially drive it - it'll be brand new again.
