I,ve done it the other way round which is probably more difficult, but the real difference is in the rear main bearing cap. Have a lokk and decide if you can keep the Midget one (preferred option) or if you need to use a mini one, which should, technically, be line bored to match. If its to be a hi-po engine then you cant take any chances. |

so this is the only difference that could provide any issues, so if I can use the original main bearing cap its usualble? Gaball said:

I took a chance and changed the cap without having it line bored - but then I am a bit of a chancer anyway -certainly not recommended.

I'd just use a mini block. not particularly helpful, but it saves the hassle. I agree. Also, the inline boys have started converting Mini blocks because they are getting scarce. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
