After a 400 mile trip in my high mileage mini mayfair, my engine gave up, and with an mot in a couple of weeks i thaught that now is the time for a revamp, so im planning on a 1380 half engine kit, refurbished big valve head, might have a go at some porting, a new gearbox as the one i have is very close ratio, 2" big bore exhaust not to sure about what cam i should have.. hif44 carb uprated oil pump new ally rad bucket seats and semi slicks.. i have baisic mechanical knowledge and this is my first engine build so i feel quite clueless, any advice? id like to get it above 80bhp. cheers
The kit is 1380 ofset bored block new core plugs bearings washers big ends ect stroked crank power max pistons and some decent con rods, since I've got a turbo oil pump, lightend duplex timing gear new dual core ally rad the cam I have got is a minisport ca2 fast road.. I have been told I need a new dizzy drive clutch and flywheel..
