ha ha. 280, just as a rough estimate. I'll know the true figures, probably 285+ when i dyno it in late May. Although the engine badge does state "260"


Too many mods to list, PM me if the cat needs killing...

I didn't know you were having the 300T conversion done before the end of May!

Big Block...

I'm dropping one of these in the MINI!

454 Chevy Big Block Crate Engine With 550 Horse Power

Ok, so it is a 454, but it is 550 of raw power. FWIW, I helped build one of these once. Nice gas guzzling engine.

Holy cow - you're putting a 7.4 litre engine into a MINI?!?!

Are you insane?!?!?
Have you thought this through?!?!
Will there be videos?!?!
Can I come along for a ride one day?!?!
What does this mean?!?!
Will the world never be the same again?!?!
Why can't I stop with the exclamation-enhanced questions?!?!

, I thought you guys might get a kick from that. The engine build was a summer project with a buddy and his dad back when I was in high school. It was the summer that I learned what an engine was. Such fun that was....

It'll not be a mini anymore

Think of the children, don't do it!

You know, if you're going to stick a 7.4 litre beast of an engine in the MINI - you're going to have some trouble transferring all that power to the road.
