MINI

After a considerable amount of thought, I had decided to construct a larger engined Mini. My first choice of engine were the Rover SDi 3.5V8 or the Ford Cologne V6 since both of these power plants were available with a 4x4 gearbox set up... Shortly after purchasing the whole of the engine,gearbox and transmission, a donor Min was found in a local salvage yard. Over a period of the next few weeks, little by little the bulkhead was cut away until the engine and gearbox were in the correct horizontal and vertical alignment...
