Hi guys, Does anyone know if a Morris 1100s motor will fit in a mini? Zulu |

trim the front engine plate { front engine mount in morrie 1100} check the diff ratio, std 1100 is 4.2ish {I think} the gearbox extension housing is different to a mini one, slightly longer and has a sandwich plate { not a tasty treat} between box and shift housing. stick a mini radiator and shroud on it and welcome to the big bore club. |

silly question this... but how much do you need to trim off? |

Cut the mount brackets off, or trim it to Mini shape. Use oxy or angle grinder. It's just for clearance. |

If you keep the 1100S diff housing make sure you get the remote gear change linkage too from the 1100 as it bolts to the diff housing differently to a Mini one due to the rubber sandwich plate. I have this in my van and it works fine. |

Re the rubber sandwich plate, you can burn the rubber out and weld a steel strip in between to make it solid. Like Mini remote feel then. |

Such great info Dr Mini. What would the benefits be of the 1100 S motor over a mini 1275? |

Morris 1100S motor is much the same as any other non S 1275. But note the gearbox is only 3 synchro, and parts are getting scarcer for these. Most people put the 1100S onto a Mini K remote box, or a rodchange one. Both are 4 synchro. |

They're cheap and easier to get cos there were a lot more of them made.... If you can buy one, buy it... I've had an 1100S motor in my cars since 1995 - I say cars because I've moved the same motor from car to car, and I say the same motor because it's the same crank, but I think I've had 4 different blocks |

No sideplates in an 1100S. One less place to leak! Also, are they only a 9 stud head not 11 stud? |

I have an 1100S on a 22G1128 (4 synchro) box. I changed the original 4.13:1 diff for a 2.95:1 and it is now an amazing highway cruising machine, but still has reasonable acceleration. |
