seeing as i work in a breakers yard i stripped a 2.0l meastro today. To my supprise it was the same as a mini engine but back to front with the gearbox on the side!
So i was thinking about turning the engine around, taking the box and sump off n fitting mini parts, lowering the compression, adding a t3 and hay prestow, a super quick 2.0t mini WITH an a series engine.

Or am i just dreaming and should wait for someone to pinch me and wake me up?

it may b small but it purfectly formed

Might have had a 2.0 badge on the back, but if it looked like a mini engine, it was a mere 1.3 maestro and nothing else.

No it isn't. It's similar to a Morris Marina block. It's got the north-south cranshaft and rear main cap.

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