Mini Mania - where Classic Mini Rebuilt Engines are for Sale

The "Ultimate Street Performance Engine" from Mini Mania is the result of 40+ years of building and racing our own Mini Coopers. Because drivability and reliability are of utmost importance in any Mini Cooper, only components from well-established suppliers are utilized to build our Mini motors.

While the standard configuration is described here, power-unit engines can be customized to meet the particular needs for your Mini Cooper. Just ask your friendly Mini Mania Sales Technician for a custom power-unit quote.

About The "Ultimate Street Performance Engine"

Engine blocks are cleaned, magnafluxed, bored and painted. The oil passages are thoroughly cleaned, removing and re-tapping all the factory "lead" plugs, and replacing with threaded hex plugs. The cylinder head is one of our large valve cast iron heads and has hardened valve seats for use with unleaded fuels. It has ample room to modify for very large valves. The casting has the valves further appart than any stock casting, making it ideal for big-bore applications. We use squeeze cast Powermax 73.5mm pistons, which are specifically designed for this application. Elgin supplies the custom ground camshaft, which is driven by a new timing chain and gears. Elgin Cams supplies the custom ground camshaft.

We sell these engines ready to bolt in and run, which means, of course, that they are already mated with transmissions. These late model rod change transmissions are also fully rebuilt with a 3.44 final drive (upgrade kits to install these in earlier model cars are available at a small added cost) or a remote shift box can be used (extra cost). Flywheel and clutch assemblies are all in place.

Horsepower testing has been done with the following options not included with this motor:

• Carburation is not supplied but the single 1 3/4" SU HIF type carb (BDK needle) with K&N air filter on an aluminum manifold is recommended as is Long Center Branch (LCB) exhaust manifold.
• You also provide you our own electrical bits (starter, generator or alternator), cooling system, tailpipe, and Mini!
• The distributor is not included with the basic "Powerunit" but we recommend the "Aldon" Yellow or a 123.

Note: No core charge and call us if you are interested in 'trading-in' your old (1275cc) engine!

Non-refundable $1,000 deposit required at time of order!

Specifications:

• 73.5mm squeeze-cast pistons
• 10:1 Compression
• A+ Block, Crank, and Rods for best big bore reliability
• Our CAM103 set at 108º for best horsepower
• Large valve cast iron head  with A+ 'sintered' rocker arms

Mini Mania - where Classic Mini Rebuilt Engines are for Sale

The "Ultimate Street Performance Engine" from Mini Mania is the result of 40+ years of building and racing our own Mini Coopers. Because drivability and reliability are of utmost importance in any Classic Mini Cooper, only components from well-established suppliers are utilized to build our Mini motors.

While the standard configuration is described here, power-units can be customized to meet your particular needs for your Mini Cooper. Just ask your friendly Mini Mania Sales Technician for a custom power-unit quote.

Engine blocks are cleaned, magnaflux'd, bored and painted. The Classic Mini Cooper cylinder head is one of our special Aluminum heads, which is not only cast ported, but has hardened valve seats for use with unleaded fuels. The Mini motor uses Evo  9cc dished pistons, which are specifically designed for this application. Elgin supplies the custom ground camshaft, which is driven by a new timing chain and gears.

The built Classic Mini engine is mated with a gearbox, with flywheel and clutch assemblies all in place. These late model Mini Cooper rod change transmissions are also fully rebuilt and painted, and in the base configuration are assembled with a 3.44 final drive.

Optional kits to install the power-unit in earlier model Classic Mini Coopers are available. An optional remote shift box can be equipped too.

Note: There is NO CORE CHARGE!  And if you want to save even more money, call us about our 'Trade In' Program that allows you to get money back on your old (1275cc) engine!

• 73.5mm squeeze-cast pistons
• 10:1 Compression
• 10/10 Crank
• Elgin CAM003 carefully timed in at 107º for best horsepower
• 11-Stud Aluminum Cylinder Head With Big Valves

These power-units are hand built with care, stand tested and tuned (final tuning, of course, is always done in the Mini). Shipped palletized and protected, the power-units are ready to bolt in and run.

Engines built by Mini Mania are warranted by Mini Mania for 12 months or 12,000 miles (which ever comes from first). Non-refundable $1,000 deposit required.

Mini Mania - where Classic Mini Rebuilt Engines are for Sale

Interested in this engine? Contact us at 1-800-946-2642 to speak with a specialist.

Ask any group of Classic Minis enthusiasts what feature they wished their Mini had, and one of the top answers will be "a FIFTH gear"!  This is particularly true when the car has a nice big torquey engine like one of our 1380cc custom-built powerunits.  We have built literally hundreds of these over the years, but only a special few have been equipped with one of the aftermarket 5-speed gearboxes.

In recent years, the five speeds have been produced in small numbers a few at a time, so not uncommon to find yourself on a waiting list. We at Mini Mania know this so when we want one, we often try to order two! 

At least one of them is going to help make up a 'dream engine' package, coupled with one of our 1380 HP A+ Engines. The 5-speed is configured to match the original 60s Cooper S close ratio gear box, but with a fifth gear overdrive that lets you and your Mini relax on a modern highway. This eliminates the compromise that MUST be made with a 4-speed - Do I want a high-revving engine on the highway, or do I want to burn my clutch getting the car moving?

This engine package will out-perform the fire-breathing original Cooper S while matching its fun to drive point and shoot, nimble handling manners that humble far higher spec competition to this day. Your Mini will jump off the line with authority, each gear perfectly placed for the engine powerband. But when you're not auto-crossing, or enjoying your favorite winding road, you can put this one in fifth and actually take it somewhere!
