| Some
might say the Mini and the A series engine are inseparable.
I disagree, when KAD introduced the 16 valve head for the old
A series everyone was happy (even if they couldn't afford it).
The Mini has always had people adding bits to it, customising
it etc. These changes could involve anything from a simple air
filter change to a 6-speed box, Weber carbs etc. So what's wrong
with going the whole hog and changing the entire engine! With
stricter emission laws, now's the time for something more radical
than a race head! |

The
purpose of this site is to introduce people to the concept of
fitting something other than just another tuned A-series engine.
The site will hopefully serve as a central resource for contacting
companies able to do the conversions, or supply parts and advice.
The site mirrors my on-going project to fit such an engine in
my own Mini. I hope to include other peoples' Minis and will
be relying on people to submit information, text and pictures.
So far, the engine of choice has been the Vauxhall engine but
there are now several alternatives including the Honda VTEC
the Suzuki Swift GTi and others. |
