Mike D Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Marina engine wouldn't easily fit in a Mini.Wasn't it the standard 1275 A series then? Always assumed it was.Sort of, but Marina's, Minors, Midgets are RWD and minis and metros are FWD, they mount differently, and i'm pretty sure the cranks are different too, among other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 haha, that was brilliant. URGH i hate those ferrari 'lookalike' cars, who ever thought it was a good idea to 'enhance' the looks of a perfectly fine car into what looks like the sort of cars you get in a video game where the developer cant get licenses is a fool. Oh well, each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just looks like a shonky pile of bollocks that'll be seized to fuck A series engines aren't that expensive, surely? A runner would be less than that, and a recon can't be more than £1000?
