Brilliant thanks
Forgot to add my 1098 in the car currently has the maniflow full big bore exhaust system, is that a straight bolt on job as I’ve heard the engine is taller but not sure, And has a hif38 carb. Where’s best to buy the engine parts online?

I’ve just stripped down what I believe is a 1275 marina or ital engine (oil filter high up on block and no tappet chest cover just ribbed) having identified it as a good engine and that I will be building it myself, what are worthwhile modifications at a budget while it’s apart? It will need to be b...

Hi there I have just bought a 1275 engine complete with gearbox, I believe it’s a+ engine code starts with 12v e-h could someone confirm this? My main question is can the gearbox be used in the minor, I’m guessing the engine and box was out of a ital, any benefits to be had using it and is it a easy...

Thanks guys think I’ll just keep my money and stick with the hif 38 setup I have

Hi everyone
In currently have a hif38 carb on my morris engine (1275 head 1098 block, Maniflow exhaust system), is there anymore gain to be made with twin hs2 carbs over the single hif38? Or even twin hif38?
Thanks

Hi everyone
I’ve been offered a 1275 a series mini engine but curious how easy it is to swap crank to convert for inline what’s same and whats needed, is it a easy worth while thing todo or look out for another engine, I’d rebuild whatever engine I get anyway
Thanks

Hi everyone
Has anyone ever done a rotary powered minor for example rx8 engine and 6 speed gearbox, just very curious about these compact engine in a moggy, anyone got any pictures or know if it can be done

Thanks for the reply’s guys really helpful I have the torsion bar off the car at the moment as replacing bushes and rear bracket, with the torsion bar on the floor and front are flat on the floor this is the measurement I have at the rear, is it about right to match the rear with 1.5inch lowering bl...

Hi everyone I plan on lowering my morris with lowering blocks at the back and matching it at the front by adjusting torsion bar, my question is how do I adjust the camber if possible?

Has anyone got any pictures of spacing and best place on wing to drill holes and locate

Hi everyone
I’ve had a mad idea of putting beetle (mid 60s) 1200 rear lights on my 2 door minor to replace the pitted chrome nasty old ones, anyone done this before, the look very similar in shape of wing

Hi everyone
I have a 1967 2 door in dove grey what colour or close match rear wing piping should I buy it’s currently black piping painted grey so looks awful

Maybe i should install a few bags of sand on one side that should do it haha

Thanks for that I’ll give that a go

Hi everyone
My 2 door leans to the left enough to be noticed when looking at, I’ve changed to new rear springs as they needed doing anyway, but suspect passenger side front is the issue, how to you adjust the height to bring it level
Also any common problems to suspension sag
Thanks

Hi everyone
I have a lack of electricity at my garage and need todo some welding I have a sealed mighty mig 150 or 180 I can’t remember any ideas what size portable generator would power this?

Using the moggy axle would be perfect, but I doubt it would handle the extra torque, if there is a stronger diff and hardened halfshafts that would cope with about 170bhp that would be great

Hi everyone
I’m looking for a axle to suit a Ford zetec engine and type 9 gearbox but that’s fairly straight forward to fit onto the original rear springs and to retain the original look regards wheel spacing , I’ve heard mgb axle is a possible fit ?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Would be a great engine for the minor, just mounting it would be difficult and finding a gearbox. I have thought about it haha, the seats were originally cloth until I had them retrimmed

It’s 150bhp in standard form so it’s nippy
