A red one. It will give you more BHP! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Also on a serious note, if you search on here, I think it is the auto and later MPI subframe moved the engine backwards 12mm or so, which may help/hinder dependent on your application?

Do the search though if this is relevant as my numbers are most likely off! Didn't the later frames MPI etc moved the engine forwards? Auto frames are wider and need adaptors to put a manual engine in. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Late frames (HIF carbed cars onwards) move the engine forward 10-12mm. Auto frames drop the engine down lower if you have bracketry to convert the engine mounts. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Has got nothing to do with turbos, but this could be useful...

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

SPI and as Will says MPI frames have moved the engine forward 10-15mm. Good news at the back but even less room down the front! |

They moved the engines forward to get the HIF38/44 carbs in as they are deeper than the HS carbs. I had to 'adjust' the bulkhead in my old clubman to get a HIF38 in there. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Ah, apologies I stand corrected, I knew it was one way but forwards doesn't really help matters (unless you already have an MPI/SPI one and need more front room!) |

Personally I prefer the earlier (twin bolt towers) type.

with all this said, basically, you can use the frame that is already in the car.......... |
