ah, well there you go - that's likely to be the original 998 or 1098 cc engine, so if you want to build a 1275cc, the first thing you need to do is buy a 1275cc engine :)

a 1275cc engine is physically different internally to what's in your car, bolting a cooper s head on won't work

go and talk to Link Automotive in Mitcham or Mini Spares and Repairs in Seaford
