Hi,new to the forums and looking for info. Not very knowledgeable about Mazda engines and would like to know if there is a RWD gearbox that could be used on a FWD Mazda BP18. Plan is to fit it in a Morris Minor and convert from injection to carb although that may change if I can get the ECU properly sorted. Any help would be appreciated,thanks

 

There are better choices of engine for a Mini that the MAZDA engine. Not even sure why you would want to do this project unless it is to be the first. Honda engines generally are the first choice for the older original Mini's.

Now I suppose it may be cool to stick the Chrysler 1.6 that is in the first Generation MINI Cooper S model MCS 2001-2006 with the Super Charger. But dont expect to make much more then 400-550 wheel HP. LOL

BTW there is a better MINI form that is in the UK and NAM is not really the best for information anymore in the last 2 decades.
You might contact MINI Mania, the owner and a few employee's race original Mini's as well the BMW/MINIs


BTW why in the world would you want to go back to carburetor(s) !?? Maybe if your plan is DRAG RACING but for anything else what a PIA unless you go with a combi carb and F/I and then it gets expensive

 

A morris minor is not a mini it is a late 50's early 60's car that is rear wheel drive
