Hi All,
Very new to the mini scene so sorry for any dump questions i ask. More into the hotrods and have just finished putting a lexus/toyota (1UZ v8) in a rod. With that on the road a new project had to be found. So what better then a mini! Been reading this site for a few months now. Awesome - so much info!!

Just bought my new project, one very rusty 77 mini. Someone has done a nose job on it (as round's stoped in OZ start of 70s????).

Anyway, my question is since it has had a round nose front put on will a 4EFTE still fit?

In short, yes the motor can fit. A front mount radiator and intercooler, however, might not.

There's a very nice green 850 Mini owned by a member on here who might be able to give you some more info. I'm sure he'll see this thread and pipe up. :wink:

Welcome to Ausmini forum Mick.

As per Slinks reply, yes, there are quite a few 4EFTE done both here and in NZ.

Dont forget to ask questions if you need to.

Cheers,
Tricky
