Surely you must be able to find this out on the net? A-series tuning is hardly new-fangled, is it? IIRC you can bore out to 1440cc. Broadspeed used to be respected Mini tuners, or John Cooper Garages may be able to give you some advice.

Exhaust, induction, then head, and maybe cam, then rebore, and strong bottom end, then do what I did, give up and buy a rwady made quick car!!

Haven't got the cash at the moment (getting married)

Seriously thinking about doing the single engine conversion though. How does it handle? With such a short wheel base I would imagine it to be a bit of a handful.

Sorry for thread Hijack

It's never been run and is in seperate bits at the moment.. Can't remember the exact size.. pistons are new.. crank is off-centre ground.. Cam is fast road kc800 I seem to remember.. Has a new set of shells with it...All the bits have light surface rust but I think would clean up easily with a little light emery and some oil... Interested? Make me a reasonable offer..

Buy yourself "tuning the Aseries" (or whatever it's called) by David Vizard
And goto your loacl minspares for somebits.
You could try the metre turbo engnie if it'll fit.
