Hi Guys,
I know a few conversion kits deal with the slightly larger engine bays of the leyland but what would be a good conversion engine and gearbox for a Morris Mk1 ? How well do the gearboxes fit ?
Cheers
Brendan

....and most of those conversion kits can be squeezed into a MKI if you are keen :idea:

Late model Mini Front cuts would cost thousands....say 2-5K ballpark others are similar but maybe cheaper....do a google search on front cuts :idea:

most of the conversions feature an offset gearbox of some description (unlike the sraight up and down A Series)...all this means is that you are cramped on one side of the engine bay and have unequal length driveshafts.

Do some research and go for it :)
