I know a lot of people put honda vtec and swift gti motors in mini's but I'm a great believer in keeping original brand parts. Here's a guy who knows how to get more power out of a rover powered mini. http://reocities.com/MotorCity/factory/2760/Viku2.html |

Imagine cops pulling you over in your Rover mini, opening the bonnet and seeing Rover rocker covers............"hmmm.... must be original engine" |

Jeez that's a blast from the past. That website is 13 years old. There was another one, Spag's Doris. He took a fairly low tech approach. http://www.spagweb.com/v8mini/ Tim |

Matt Reid fitted a Leyland P76 4.4L V8 onto an austin gearbox and installed that into his speedway mini (he also turboed it). Timbo wrote: Jeez that's a blast from the past.
