email sent

Hi Nik,

I'm interested, please em me directly with your contact info; my em is in my profile. 

Thanks and regards,
MSH

i will we rolling it out in the drive way and degreasing / power washing ( will all important things covered and sealed in plastic bags).  Figure this needs to be done either way, as i dont want to keep a dirty engine.

OT:  do auto minis, use the same axle shafts?  if i had a front subframe, can i fit an auto tranny to my current engine, or do a need a whole auto engine/tranny set up

I have a single bolt automatic front frame if you decide to go that route. 

Nick-

If you really want to get the top dollar for your set up, spend $100.00- $200.00 on a shampoo, detailing job before you offer it for sale-

I offered my 1275 MG Metro Turbo set up for $2,750.00 , had some serious interest, but sold the entire car before l had to pull the engine-

BIG AL

This is the complete front sub frame i pulled from my mini this weekend.  Complete MK4 drum brake sub frame w/ MG Metro 1275 A+ engine with rod change tranny (shifter and linkage included)

This was a fine running engine, only issue is PO welded a bracket to use a non verto slave cylinder in the cluch. Shifted fine, just ugly

Engine ID Plate # : 12HD09 157554

Tranny casting numbers: A/BZ.5 DC and DAM 5526

Block casting # WFM 1024

Head Casting # 16E8

If there are more numbers you need, just tell me where to look.  Pics show engine dirty but i plan to clean with degreaser this weekend.

I can hoist it on my trailer and deliver with in 250 miles of Oklahoma city for gas money, but you need a way to get it off the trailer.

I have no idea of its worth besides what our host sells tested engines for.  I hope to almost buy a MTD sub frame from this, so starting price is $2100

I would also consider full or partial trades for the following:

MTD from sub frame

1275 Auto w/ sub frame

sheet metal, new - full floor or full length half floors, boot floor, front end (a panels, wings, front panel) rh door, maybe more

I also have the rear sub frame out.  Its rusted though, but i am selling the radius arms and trumpets as well.

PICS

Video of engine running. - engine was running w/o gas tank as i pulled it drain bad gas, so its running year old gas in the bowl.
