rear wheel drive onto an A+ engine???????Help
Hi I'm building a 1969 MM Pickup. Can I install a rear wheel drive gearbox onto an A+ engine, using a turbo block from a Mini. Is there a sump that would fitt my engine.

Best to get hold of an Ital engine it is the only A+ which is in-line.
You CAN get a Metro turbo block to fit with a lot of work and you still need an in-line crank (Ital) so it's not worth it really.
Are you sure it's a Mini turbo block?? as the only ones produced were the ERA Turbos. If it IS an ERA block then sell it!! They are rare and then buy an Ital block. They are just as strong. Mine is an A+ Ital block and produces (when set up properly
) approx 120 BHP without a turbo!
The Metro turbo ony produces about 94 ish BHP I think.
