I remember a much modified Mini that fooled me one night.
"Wanna drag, mate?" Your on says I. 126 MPH later, your booked says copper.
WA, 1977-ish, green mini, small Holden V8. Under cover racer chaser.
First I looked at this thread, I thought, oh yeah. Some BMW, dream up.
But, NO.
A real Briton, a real Mini.
And what a superb engine he built. About the same capacity as original, blown, injected, 6000 + RPM.
And it seemed to pull well.
The sound, oh that joyful song, of blown, open pipes.
I wonder if I could shoe horn that into my Triumph 500 frame?
Shorty.

Not too dis-similar to our own Aussie Cars. Slight layout change is all.
I do like the right hand drive, for want of a better term. England is chock a block full of those beautiful little kit cars. Most road registrable.
The first time I have seen a Mini kit though.
At heart, it is still just another Jap Turbo wizz banger to listen to.
The bloke in the threads original post, designed and machined and assembled, that engine from scratch in his home garage.
And as tiny as it is, it SOUNDS just wonderful.
An open pipe, supercharged, fuel injected V8.
I don't know, that back-yarder, knows more than to just change a few leads I reckon.My hat's off to him.
THAT engine would fit into a Series easy.
Shorty.
