The 1275 is interchangable except the crank is different for the
front-drive cars. 1275 Cooper S engines are more powerful in stock
trim than Spridgets. Seems that BMC deliberately held back the engine
tuning on the Spridget because they would be embarrased that it was
faster than an MGB. phile@pwcs.stpaul.gov
