Urgent help please
Can anyone tell me if the 1.3i cooper engine is just an A+ with injection or is it different?
Can they be modified ok?
I know this is a bit OT for here but I hope you guys can help
Cheers
Mark

Might be, just found a 1.3i engine on ebay with a keft gearbox (would want to put straight cut box on it anyway)
goes out in an hour and is at £31!!
if it will take a mini 0-60 in 11 sec at 650-700kg should throw a terrapin at 350kg quite well dont you think?

Yep.
I would do it. At that price you could easily get it back.

I've just had a look, look like an A+ with a single point injection unit bolted on - I would say go for it, the way steel prices are going, in a
couple of weeks it could be worth that as weighed in scrap! Just the ancilliaries are worth the money
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

about 50 miles away
This may sound stupid but do you think two people could lift a mini unit?

Are you building a Terrapin? I got the book for Christmas, what a great read! I'd love to see some pictures.

Yes please! I'd love to build one, but that phrase could be attached to almost any automotive related object
