Yeah but in the long run for me the A series will be cheaper, as I want a round nose if I do the conversion I have to then convert the front of the clubman to a round nose. $$$$$$

Then I have to pay $600+ in freight to send it up to MR enforcer, and then they cannopt engineer it as the engineer has to be registered with vicroads. In which there is only two in sydney which means alot more $$$.

And since I only live 10mins from Link Ithink The A series would be a better option, also how much would it cost me for either a new or recon 1275 and gearbox :?: And how much power would I expect to get if I throw $8000 at these 2 including a supercharger

nah go a conversion :D

You can spend 7 grand easy (back in 2003) as minifreak has said, and still have oil leaks, 4 speed box and about 70hp@wheels. Then spend another 5 grand on supercharger for 100hp@wheels, and worrie when the gearbox is going to brake.

If you spent 7 grand on a 4efte conversion you would have no oil leaks ever, 5 speed box and about 150hp@wheels easy for 100 000's kms no hassles.

Bang for buck is an easy choice in this one. :D


i agree, ......

for me the choice is easy..
after seeing a stonking 1293 motor get passed as if it was standing still on the track day,
i think that
A series engines are a waste of time.. you'll never have enough horsepower or reliability or strength in the drivetrain to handle the power required to have a "quick" car these days..
when the average family sedan can do 0-100 in 7-8 seconds.
