hey i was just wondering if the engine from an austin 1800 had the same dimensions and mounts as a mini engine thanks

sorry- but nope, it's much bigger, and weighs a ton too.
Also harder to get big power from without them going BANG!

What about 1800 gearbox? !. Are they any good. 2. Do they fit? I'm toying with a few ideas, but they rely on finding a FWD sump/gearbox or similiar.

The whole Austin 1800 motor/box is lots wiiiiider than a Mini one, no way I can see it fitting. Although with enough hacking anything is possible (for a race car).
TheMiniMan has an Austin 1800? box in a black Mini racer, with a P76 V8 attached- but it's NOT a road car and not going yet I think.

Whoa! P76 V8 is 4.4, I got spare, smaller version 3.5 alloy V8 in the shed I have seen them in mini's even raod mini's but I really can't see that being legal on the raod, even tho the alloy rover V8 only about 100kg heavier than A-series iron lump.

i saw something similar to this, and the thing had so much understeer it wasnt funny, whats strange is when i got back from wagga with my new engine we had trouble moving it, we had no trouble moving my dads p76 motor and tranny in the same way,

says on 16vmini site that their are alot of other rover and bmc motors that fit in, how come we dont see them here

Nothing else sold here, except the crappo OHC Morris 1500. The Rover K series we never got.
A dude in Finland? managed to cram a Rover V8 in, the clubby still looked stocko outside. Illegal here... for road use.

That was it! Love that car, it oozes style and speed, dunno how it would corner but the engine, fot it's size is definetly light..... Ahh the rover alloy V8, best thing the brit's ever built, too bad it was designed by American's, just they weren't smart enough to realise it's potential, or (buick i think) couldn't be bother to realise it's potential but it's a great truly great engine! My dad had a range rover with a stroked 3.9, out to 4.2. had stage three heads and a motech computer. Engine was dynoed to 220 kw's, that's really good, buckets of torque too, with that long stroke! For a huge, heavy vehicle it went alright...now imagine that in an MGB coversion..

In some Mini circles, put anything but an A series in and they will want to tar and feather you too!
