IS it possible to fit a cooper S cylinder head + super charger etc etc onto a mini 1 or cooper???????????????????????

Probably possible but extremely expensive and you'd need a new gearbox and clutch as well.

I investigated this thoroughly - there are MANY differences in the engine etc. as well as most of the ancillaries - Cost wise it's just not worth it unless you find an S in a scrap yard and get a good deal on ALL the bits

It would be much cheaper (and better) to simply trade your existing MC for a MCS.

The only similarity is the block, and there is no room for the battery - anywhere !
