Coventry Climaxed Minors.

Post by heathy12 »

Has anyone completed or seen this conversion done on a minor.

Would be interesting in seeing or hearing a little bit more about it.

Looks like a great period engine to stick in a minor, but has it been done before??

Greetings from Australia.
In regards to fitting a Cov Climax engine in a Morris Minor, it has been done and I have such a beast.
If you would like further details, please email me on ericmckaige@bigpond.com and I will give you any info you may reaquire.
Cheers

OOOOOOOOOOOhhhh Yes please! Me too - pictures and details please! I once had a project idea to fit an Imp engine (clone of the Climax) to a Minor box, but sadly made no headway with it. And eventually sold the Imp engine.

Hello Heathy,

interesting question and I would imagine would make a good project.

It reminded me that Jack Brabham (Now Sir) did the same to Triumph Heralds in the sixties, I wonder how many of those are left?
