Hi guys, i bought a mini almost a year ago and had it shipped over to the states, Its been great and i love it but its time to go faster. Its a 1974 1000 and ive done a bit of suspension and brake work to it but the motor is sounding tired and this unleaded fuel has had its toll on the head. So i joined up to do some research to do my build. I plan to run a 7 port head, stock internals (new rings and bearings gaped accordingly), fuel injection, rebuilt trans with a taller final drive, and ill probably throw a cage and some racing seats in it. My biggest questions are what kind of stand alone ecm to run (i was looking at aem) how to run a crank or cam trigger, and some other stuff but i will do some searching. Here is some pics of my mini and my other project (a 900 hp Silverado pickup 130+ trap) This looks like a great forum with some great information!

STPEGS - we were building a very similar power plant over here in the UK at that time (early 90s) and a few of us got sent to the USA to work on plants of the same basic design, I was the only one who got Texas, the others got cold/unfriendly places :) I very nearly didn't come back

Your lucky you got Texas, i love it (born and raised here) there's not many other places in the sates that i would live, but over seas thats a different story And thanks for the welcomes guys! And yes the Black truck is a handful, tuning on the street was loads of fun with the truck burning the tiers off till 110-120 Edited by 408.Luke on 26th Apr, 2012. -1974 Mini 1000 - BRG Turbo Build Soon to come
