| Post subject: | 1100s block starting point |
Hi all, I have recently got hold of a 66 morris mini van shell with smooth roof and a bare 1100s block. This is my first foray into the mini world and would love some help with what parts I need for the engine...eg cylinder head type, gearbox type etc part numbers would be particularly helpful as I get lost in the language a lot! Thanks for your time and any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Nathan |

well the first question is "does the 1100s block have main caps with it?" if the answer is "no", then you might as well ditch it and buy a running 1100 or 998 edit: main caps are the bits that hold the crankshaft into the block, they're matched to the block and if they're not there, then getting another set matched is very expensive |

An 1098 is a good street engine!! Parts are a bit cheaper and easier to get than a 1275 Put a nice carby on it with some extractors and a nice mild Cam and you will have a good engine!! |

it will make the basis for a great coffee table now  serious& buy a complete running engine (preferably a 1275cc) but at least something you can hear running, even get a compression test & an oil pressure test on it stuff that into the car & away you go have fun man

The van sounds like an excellent starting point. Building an engine from parts is expensive. Block rods crank gearbox etc individually add up to more than a complete motor would. 1100 or 1275 (1100s is actually a 1275 from morris 1100s) engines come up for sale complete with gearboxes all the time. 998 engines came be stroked to 1100 with a crank and piston change. Cheers Rob. |

But yeah 1275 the edge. Basically you spend approx same amount of money rebuilding a 1098 as a 1275. In the end you end up with a excellent street engine (1098) or a fire breathing monster (1275). You choose. |

Quick question, what's the engine number on the block? Early in the piece I used to get confused between an 1100 and an 1100s. The two are very different. And a rough measurement of the bores? If the bores are good and indeed it is an 1100s I'd keep it and and purchase a new set of caps. Going through a similar exercise at the moment. It's going to cost me $400 to line bore my block. Caps - if your going to line bore it you could reuse any caps off the same size engine. A crank would be the hardest bit. |

Yes you can buy new STEEL mains caps from aptfast.com in USA but by the time you line bore it, it's much cheaper to find another block WITH caps. A problem with line boring is it moves the crank up in the block, this makes the timing chain looser when new. Yes you can get a funny duplex chain and sprocket set to help this, but still... |

Go 1275 if possible, and if you want a real flyer go bigger stroke and/or bore too. My 1360 Mini Van uses a 1100S block which I originally got from a '66 Delux that I bought just for the motor. Cost me $1200 for the whole car back in 1988, kept some stuff (mainly panels) and dumped the rest. |
