I just assumed on this car everything from the original motor is pretty much changed out with something a little stronger.

Yes everything is re-done. The connecting rods now have 3/8" BOLTS!!! That's big block chevy size with 7/16" heads cold rolled to 220,000psi. These are custom rods made especially for this stroked engine. Let's put it this way, there isn't much in this bottom half of the engine with a BMW part number

Next thing I want to add for next yr is a dry sump system. Anyone have a supplier for Mini's?
