Side-By-Side Comparisons of Mini Mania's Classic Mini Rebuilt Engines
From Stock to High Speed Race motors, Mini Mania can build you the the engine you've always dreamed about.
This comparison chart is designed to help you see the differences in the engines we offer.
Once you find an engine you are interested in, give us a call and let our expert Tech Staff help you customize and upgrade your engine - from paint color to final drive ratio, preference of A or A+ block, and output types like pot joints or rubber coupler types. Certain upgraded items like limited slip diffs, straight cut gearsets, lightened flywheels or high lift rockers will add to the cost of the unit.

Oil Pump information & part#
(Technical Information)
|
Being the heart of the engine, it is obviously essential that the pump is in prime condition when fitted. Due to robotised manufacture of the commercially produced pumps, tolerances have been opened up to facilitate rapid production and assembly. This has brought about a decline in the effectiveness of the pumps, especially in arduous environments such as racing and fast road work. Oil pressure in...

Testing the Engine Out of the Vehicle
(Restoration)

Our engine had been rebuilt, our ancillaries completed, and our subframes restored, so we decided to combine all the pieces together to try to run our Mini without attaching the body. We just needed a jump box to simulate the battery and a bit of fuel to pull off.
This would also let us know if we’d made any mistakes or had any leaks before we installed the drivetrain into the car. Aft...
