Length of M13a engine

That's great, thanks for the info. The stuff on the back of the head is an egr valve and a hose connection for the heater hose. Based on your measurements it will fit just about. A lot of Minor owners use a rover k series but you have to hack chunks out of the bulkhead. I'd like to do a swap which doesn't require mods to the shell.

Point taken on the accuracy of your measurements.

Hi everyone. Based on the info above I went ahead and got a Jimny M13a engine and box and put it in the Minor as a trial fit. Then there was a 1 year gap due to a health issue. Cut a long story short I bought a complete Liana then used the Jimny gearbox with the Liana engine, lots of the Jimny engine ancillaries which suited the RWD application. I kept the Liana throttle body and the Liana loom and ECU. Here is a pic of the engine bay now. Thanks to those who offered info.

So let's get this straight. You have a moggie thou with what 30 hp if it's lucky and you are giving it a modern 1.6? with a hundred hp plus? That's going to be a right laugh. What does a moggie weigh 750kg ish, hope you have plans for a brake upgrade. I love a good restomod!

This is mild compared to what some people do, there are lots of Rover k series and Ford Zetec conversions out there with up to 200 BHP or more. Brakes have been upgraded to discs at the front, and bigger drums at the back. Original engine had 48 BHP. You're about right with the weight but mine's a Traveller so it's closer to 800kg.

This made me smile

Hi, what rear axle are you using.
