Morris Minor Owners Club

Well im going to give it a go anyway, just going to concentrate on the suspension and brakes for mine while im in the process of finding a doner car. :) As far as i know this hasnt been done before, so it should be interesting to see if it works.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1302824184_...

Ive seen some strengthening kits in JLH mods that i was going to get.

It's just planning the detail of everything out in order, engine, gearbox, lower roof, gas shock suspension, brakes.

Oh where to start... [frame][/frame]

I think it sounds like a good little project, as long as i can get the engine to fit (according to a guy on piston heads this "just" fits) it shouldnt be a problem.

But the result i think would be amazing!

[frame][/frame]

Yeah i noticed that, but it seems the engine (just) fits inside the bay.

My only worry is the gearbox...[frame][/frame]

I am taking it slow at the moment, so much to do....

Next thing on my list is to work on a disc brake conversion, but i'm just trying to get it all planned out in my. [frame][/frame]

Okay, Ive been looking at some other options.

Ive been told a Subaru Flat 4 engine with fit nicely, from what i've looked up it's normally in the Impreza range.

Any thoughts?[frame][/frame]

Does the difference in fly wheel and backing plate make a difference?[frame][/frame]

So can anyone tell me where the best place to pick up a MG 1275cc engine, i've tried Ebay and a few other sites but im just having no luck.

If i can pick one up i will probably have it rebored and have a few things changed.[frame][/frame]

Okay, so would it be an idea to take the 1098cc engine i have and rebore it?[frame][/frame]

Hi Guys, Ive decided after a lot of thinking to just go with my dream idea of fitting a rover V8 in my minor. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to the car to fit such a beast. :D Im hoping someone on here has done this before or knows what kind of work im looking at. Thanks.[frame] http://mmo...

I dont get how the engine its self has anything to do with the drive system?
They never made more than one version of the A seires?, Why cant it be adapted?[frame][/frame]

Ive been told by someone that it's possible to fit a mini 1275cc if you change the sump, any truth in that?[frame][/frame]

The Ford 5 speed conversion sounds interesting.... [frame][/frame]

Anyone have an idea where i could pick one up? [frame][/frame]

Well my plan is work gas suspension and uprate the handling as much as possible. I just dont know how easy a B seires would fit into the engine bay.[frame][/frame]

Hey Guys, Thought i'd carry on my post with a new question, at the moment i've put the car on hold and just trying to build up some funds. But my question is engine's and gearboxes, mainly which type's i should be looking at, i thought orginally a mini 1275cc but ive also seen MG Miget brought up on...

Okay then, well i might go for a set of black minilites, some of them dont look to bad. [frame][/frame]

Okay, these are the size's and PCD's i have to choose from, would anyone give an idea what im looking at? :) Size PCD Offset Range mm Backspacemm Approx Weight kgs 5½x13" 4x3¾" +25 107 4.5 6x13" 4 hole 3¾" > 4½" +16 > +32 104 > 120 5.0/4.8 7x13" 4 hole3¾" > 4½"...

Ive heard about the issue with wheels before but didnt quite understand it, the ones ive found are in the picture below.

Ive seen these ones fitted to other cars in the past and also to a Minor as well. [frame][/frame]

I've been looking at different wheels in the past and have really liked the look of a set of revolution 4 spoke's that quite frankly just look damn sexy. :) My main goal over the next 3 to 4 years is to completely restore the original look of my Morris, restore every like piece of trim and chrome bu...
