    How long will you let it run on the engine stand before you crate it up and ship to the owner? Enough time to set the basic tune or will you let the engine get some hourse so the owner can go hot after it installed in his/her MINI? Curious as I have not used a stand at home, but my Alfa Race shop used to let the race engines run for a couple hours before installing into my 67 GT. Thanks...

    If I had a classic I know where I would send it, heck at this point I may send you a Lotus :D

    all your build threads are great! Thank you for taking the time to do them

    All boxed up and ready to go, just waiting on the truck to come get it. Of course, for that to happen I have to do a major re-arranging of the garage so it will go out the door! No matter, I need to do that anyway.....

    18 - 5/16 bolts with nylocks hold the top to the bottom.

    All the papers, invoices, build notes etc are in the box along with the extra parts and spares.

    Hope it arrives safely!

    I've seen a couple of Spridget's with a supercharger. I think Moss sells a kit. Are the old Judson superchargers still available?

    Did you put rollers on the shipping base? Or did the trucker have a lift dolly I cannot see. Nice work, next?

    Why not an ecoboost, would you use a ford 1.5 with turbo if you did? I would think a turbo'd R53 would be nice as rear engine candidate. Whatever you do, post pictures, we are all waiting. :) :)

    I do, I’m just wondering if that green engine you’ve been rebuilding would fit in the — is at the front, or the rear of the car like the original mini coopers (or am I thinking about some thing else) – well I have a 2004 JCW Coupe, and it’s coming up with all kinds of new Electronica problems — at this point with the SRS driver seat, Lucky me only AFTER I removed it To fix the mechanical hinge contraption that they put in so you can get into the back of this car (Who wants to drive the car from the backseat anyway besides my future ex mother-in-law..... there’s no reason for going in the back seat none!)
