" slightly modified " engine ! Might need to modify your bonnet " slightly " , depending which car you were trying to install it in. Not seen one like that before.

What possible benefit is there to having four pipes from rocker cover to sump, and four double filtered "in" breathers on the rocker cover?
It looks more like a work of art to me than a functional engine. Not sure I'd trust the belt drive either!

There is absolutely no reason for all the breathing pipes connecting the bottom and top of the engine. There are already sufficient inbuilt passages within the block and head for the passage of fumes/oil up and down the engine
As already mentioned above - more like a piece of conceptional art.
The toothed belt drive for the water pump and onto the dynamo/alternator is a common conversion and has worked well fitted to my Minor.

One piston seems to have been fitted back to front, too.
Do you think he ran out of nuts for the thermostat housing? Strange mix.
