marina engine mods?

[dillorto]

Following my recent dilemma regarding my 1098 engine I have acquired a 1275 marina engine and am just looking for some advice on any mods that need doing before I try and fit it in my Morris,where can I get a bigger exhaust to compliment the bigger engine,i already have a servo fitted and brakes are good ,Thanks in advance

These engines have a very soft cam fitted - best upgrade will be to fit an MG Metro cam while the engine is out. Head and carb etc improvements can all be done later.

if the question is what must be done to fit the engine, i would suggest you get the marina to minor manual available from esm. it lists all the changes required.

Just done same on my car. U will need modified back plate and flywheel if using 1098 gearbox. Available from Mmc Birmingham and others. I use birminghams big bore exhaust and 3 branch manifold. I got a nice HIF 44 carb off eBay and k&n filter. Clutch was nightmare. Pattern one slipped. Borg and beck 1098 clutch from MGOC was fine!
Any qs, pm me!pb
