Hmm... Cooper S block eh...

The purists (no, not me!) would say not original :shock:

....

Hang onto the 1275LS block though, in case you ever sell the car... :wink:

Damn - did I start something with the Blue motors??

Very nice indeed and looks a treat.

F)&K the purists - I had a "friend"over a few weeks ago and flatly stated why I was putting that motor in my car in THAT colour. He then proceeded to tell me all Clubman 998cc engines were black. I then said to him it was a 1977 Leyland Mini and not a Clubman...lol

Silence is golden - the purists can go play elsewhere

Keep up the great work - like it the way it is...

Hooroo
