Classic Mini Cooper Vtec Austin America Conversion Kit For Honda B Series Engines
The MTAA-B Series Kit was designed to install Honda’s B Series DOHC engines into the Austin America, Morris, MG, Riley, Vanden Plas, Wolseley, 1100's, and 1300's. Upgrading the Classic Austin America's A-Series engine with today’s most trusted engines built by Honda. We have taken all of the headaches out of this engine swap by developing the MTAA-B subframe. The MTAA-B subframe mounts directly to the America using the stock locations. This kit does NOT require any exterior body modifications. The MTAA-B Kit includes: MTAA-B subframe, adjustable suspension arms, Hybrid Chromoly Axle Shafts, Hardware, brackets, and instructions. All subframes are painted black.
Question:
I just purchased a 69 Austin America can you tell me all engines that would work with the conversion kit?
Also, mine is automatic but I want to make it a manual.
Answer:
Hi,
You will be needing the B series engine. You can probably do a manual trans swap, but will need to find or purchase some parts to make it fit. You might check out the videos on the web site, they are for the mini but it will give you a good idea what is involved.
