Hi all,
Anyone got info on a 10/AR/A/H engine prefix. I have search the net with no success.
Thanks Pete

They’re listed here for Morris 1100

You realise that is listed as a 1098cc block for an automatic gearbox and requires modifications to use with a manual gearbox.
Just thought I'd mention it.

If you want it modded to manual I have the gear to do it.

Yes, Dr Mini. I have your "How to" article printed for reference and have done a 1275 block accordingly. Auto blocks have often been overlooked and it's worth the promotional advertisement to remind newcomers.

It should have the good head 295 on it too

No need to search the internet. Just enter 10AR at BMC Knolwedgebase at https://leylandaustralia.com.au/resources.htm
300,000 records on file including part numbers, engine codes, vehicle codes, publications, etc.. Regards, Tony

Surely it is still easier to find a manual block. I might eventually convert a manual block to auto to annoy people, I believe it can be done but not so easy.

I am beginning to have a collection of manual parts that I have no use for including blocks.

Too many minis

You can use the crank from the 10AR in a manual 998 block to convert it to a 1098.

I had a 10AR block in my first mini. I don't think it had been properly converted to manual. It came apart at high speed and took out the entire engine and gearbox. The only salvagable part was the 295 head.

It was already on a manual box when we got it. What are the mods i should be looking for? It was fitted with a normal oil pump, I thought they needed a plate under them but this one didn't have one. Had good oil pressure before I pulled it down.

This is the guide for 1275 auto to manual, not sure what the difference is to a 998/1100 block

Thanks, I have read that as well. I'm unsure if there is a difference either.

I difference-
Oil pump recess is same depth on 998/1098 manual and automatic. So no spacer needed. You use a standard 998 oil pump.
You still have to extend the oil hole to the pump....
