I am wondering if a rod change gearbox will fit into a Morris 1100 with little or no modifications .
What's involved in doing the swap (Apart from the obvious take engine out of one car put in the other )

I know there are some 1100 guys out there....

Thanks

Cool thanks, I thought it might be as for changing over on a mini but I though I'd better check.

I'm thinking about it.... Argh too many cars need to find more room.

My little deluxe will be minus his engine (1100 rodchange) and this doesn't have one so I may as well use the 1100 engine for the Morrie. The deluxe will be getting a rebuilt 998 with 1100 crank and remote change gearbox



I found that site when I was looking for info to explain what hydrolastic suspension was the info they have there is pretty good.

Thanks for the offer on doors I'll see how they look

The rod change box has pot joints and you will need to change driveshafts to use them.
The rod change will also need to be lengthened a little.

You may be able to get the parts from NZ.

would it not be possible to use the ends of the mini drive shafts ?????

Makka, the inner end splines are different on pot joint shafts to all the others.

From what I understand you only need one new driveshaft. The long shaft out of a mini becomes the short shaft in the 1100. So you only need the long 1100 shaft. Does that make sense?

I just worked out it was Steve and Mikey's 1100S which donated it's 1275 to the moke

I did decide to buy it

I am now thinking of using one another gearbox I have at home and trying to find a remote housing etc from a 1100. I need a remote housing, diff housing, that rubber sandwich plate thing maybe the mounts and the rod that goes down the centre right

I have an old magic wand box at home, I was told that if you changed over the diff housing then these could be used with a remote change is this correct

If that's the case I'm happy cause I didn't think I would find a use for a magic wand box

Yes I realise it will only have 3 syncros.

Car is a white 1100S it doesn't have an engine though I will have a spare engine(1100) whilst I am doing up the deluxe though but it really ought to have a 1275 I guess but I don't have the dough for that at the moment I am sorta thinking of pinching the 1275 out of one of my minis and putting an 1100 back in it then possibly selling it..... I don't know but I should really look at getting rid of one of them.

Here's some of the photos:

Fuz...PM sent about a spare engine that may still be available for the 1100....ummmm....the man fella is a little "interesting" to deal with

Be prepared for a long wait selling the 1100....they don't exactly move real fast. Ken R in the club has had a couple and may be interested in another....also Dave B maybe....then there is always elevenhundred.com...Cheers, Mick

Nah I'll sell one of the three minis Iv'e got I want to keep the 1100 cause it is something different and I think they are undervalued (both financial and in terms of thier following as a car, but I mean as an interesting and unique car) I don't expect to ever be able to get much for it if I sell

Mum also used to own a 1100 when she was young (traded in her Austin seven for one ) so she might get some fun out of driving it while I don't have room for it down here.
