I'm about to do the same on my '73 Clubman. I want a basically standard engine but since the exhaust and intake manifold, the carburetter and fuel pump are missing, I thought I might give it a little tweek like polishing the ports and fitting hardened valve seats and maybe oversize valves if they need replacing, extractors and a 1 1/2" SU with bigger needle/jet. Any thoughts on this? Graham valve seats good = unleaded fuel dont bother with the port-polishing. get a *good* exhaust system; i like the RC-40 with a maniflow manifold (headers in US?) use the smallest bore system you can find, if its a stanndard head/cam/valve size you will need a separate intake manifold. finish it with a diffrent needle to make this modification work. have a look here: http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=37334 keith Thanks, Keith, that is what I had in mind. Any idea which needle and jet they use in the stage 1 kit? Graham |
just tell them what you have done - very little difference in the
jetting with what you propose. BTW they also keep mini parts to OHaul
your motor.

Graham if you look down through the link i sent you to Minispares, the needle they reccomend is AAU, which is a nice flat profile. (richer than standard at top end, where the exhaust mods really come in to play) keith |
somewhere, Rob?
