I've heard on here a couple of times talk about 4age or 4agze conversions but no details. Well anyway a guy name Ross Buchan has written to me from South Afrika about not just his but his friends 4agze conversions and more than that they are ripping them out to convert to 4efte's!!!! Go figure anyway here's a few pics..

I can provide more details if people are interested, he said he is swapping due to lack of traction and also head gaskets pissing oil???[/list]

Good effort to get the motors in there. I wonder what their subframes look like? I will finally finish mine tonight, only have a little bit of grinding to do.

could be the 1.8L v6 in the mazda eunos??? or the 2L v6 out of the suzuki vitara?

If the mini weighs 700kg then you can fit upto 2L of engine NA.
