Can you change a transverse 'A' engine all variations to inline or visa versa. I sem to recall a twinni pickup used inline Morris Ital blocks and tranversed them http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c248/spe...er1/mini007.jpg

Obviously crank is a total nono. I sold a Marina engine to a guy, and he fitted it in a Mini after much fettling with the front main cap. If you're fitting steel caps and line boring this is easy.

The oil pickup will also need some modification, not sure what. Not worth it really as the proper blocks are dirt cheap. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c248/spe...er1/mini007.jpg
