   Locating a VTEC motor for your mini conversion.
 
Although there are hundreds of sources for good used motors we thought we would simply provide a short list.  We are NOT recommending any one of these guys in particular!

I have a 1978 mini 998cc. If I were to swap in a VTEC conversion kit, simply put-how fast could I go?

Hmotorsonline.com is a great place for honda engines. John there is no 1.4 vtec engine, honda has the single cam (d series) dual cam (b series) and the newer i-vtec (k series) I went with a B16 1.6 litre dual cam engine with ~180hp all said and done I have a little over $14,000 in my vtec mini but that includes some things that I wanted but werent "needed". It was relatively "easy" as I purchased the kit from superfastminis and a flip front nose. I get roughly 38-42 mpg. You can swap nearly any engine but some are certainly easier due to the physical size of the engine.
