This builder in the UK has kits:

I am sure they can be adapted to other implementations.
Someone from SLO in California had one of the Minimania kits installed, but I last saw that car at Monterey a number of years ago.

Thanks, BIG AL. Can I install the supercharger without a total engine rebuild? If so, how difficult is the mod? Thanks!

The engine was built by Se7en Enterprises and was originally done for AL Diamenti in Long Island NY, in fact our Jim D (6464) on the board imported the Rover mini from the UK to Long Island, after being here 2 years it was refined to a decent road car but l knew full well that if l kept it, it would be funeral time and as everybody knows, l'm taking my last ride in a Clubman Estate classic mini-

While at the Lime Rock Vintage Festival this past weekend, I met up with a couple of Mini guys and the discussion got around to adding a supercharger (from the first generation BMW MINIs) to my 87 Mini. Consensus was that it was a relatively simple install, once I removed the A/C from the engine bay. If anybody has done this or knows about doing this, I would very much appreciate any and all input. Thanks in advance!
