Morris Minor Owners Club

Hah, i should have clarified. The accident was late May 2009. I'm totally fine now other than some knee pain.

Wow its been a long time since i logged onto the best forum in the world. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm all healed up, my knee still gives me pain, but who doesn't have pain right? Here's a picture of the car, i know some people wanted to see it. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l246/dannydown...

Ow, ow, ow. Will it recover?

I'm not sure yet, I had an MRI yesterday so we'll see how that turns out.

Got some bad news. Doc thinks i tore the posterior cruciate ligament in my left knee. Hopefully they can give me a brace so i can walk on it.

Hey all, i think everyone will be happy to know that I am doing MUCH better. I can now eat foods such as oatmeal and spaghetti(if its cut up enough to swallow whole). Ive regained almost full motion in my jaw and lips and can almost speak normally again. Also, i was finally able to put some weight o...

Don't worry innovator, its not insensitive at all. My knee is pretty swollen so it's hard to get around but when i can i will definitely post some pictures. The Morris stood up well considering the circumstances. The wide head of the 4age helped to contain the engine in the compartment.

Hey all, thanks again for the kind words. I've gone through the accident over and over in my mind- it just happened so fast that i don't know what else i could have done. My girlfriend's father is a firefighter and he said that missing the beam was important because he has seen a lot of cars flipped...

Thanks for the kind words guys. It may have been my first Morris, but definitely not my last.

I was driving back to my college yesterday- i was in the left lane doing 65 mph in my 4age powered Morris Minor. A truck in front of me dropped a very large steel beam right into my lane. I knew that if i hit it it would have flipped my car. I quickly swerved to the right into the other lane just in...

Have you researched the Buick 3.8L v6? Theres TONS of aftermarket for that motor and its extremely compact.

I have changed gearboxes in the ol' morry quite a few times. I can attest to how much it sucks. Timeline: 2006- pulled stock sidevalve gearbox out - put 1275 and ribcase 4 speed in -1 day later, pulled ribcase 4 speed out as it had a bad 2 gear -1 day later, put another ribcase 4 speed in 2007 - 2nd...

Any MGB pump I have seen is a good bit larger! Also - it's a 'pusher' pump, not a 'sucker' as required for standard Minor installation. The normal SU electric pump works with either voltage ground - it's only the 'electronic' pumps that have this polarity problem. I used an mgb pump with my 1275. W...

You can just use an mgb fuel pump, its physically the same as the morris pump but neg. earth.

Well its a lot more involved than, say, a fiat twin cam conversion. The fuel injection complicates things somewhat. One thing forgot to add was that you'll need a high pressure low volume pump as well as running new fuel lines. The stock morris feed can be used as a return and a new 5/16" feed ...

The 4age came in: 1985-1989 toyota mr2 The Corolla Ae86 GTS (rwd and came with the t-50) Corolla Ae82(FWD, Bigport) Corolla Ae92 (FWD, smallport) 1988 Chevrolet Nova (only some came with it) 1990-92 Geo Prism GSi (smallport and came with map sensor) The t-50 bolts straight up to the 4age and it came...

Hey Maverick, the 4age makes for a pretty cool and reliable engine in the morris- i think you made a good choice. Fitting the 4age is pretty straightforward, although like all EFI engine conversions, it requires a good deal of work. The nice thing about this conversion is that the body does not to b...

If you dont mind me asking, if you are planning on modifying the front end so much and setting the motor back by 200-300 mm, what is stopping you from putting a more powerful engine in? The Beams 3sge would be a good motor, or even the KA24DE. The Beams blacktop claims 210 hp N/A, and its only 2 lit...

Can i trade my free moggy ride for a plane ride from california??
