- Dear Listers: Is it possible to transplant a 1500cc "Spitfidget" engine and transmission into a Morris Minor or does everything line up wrong? My 958cc engine is worn out and my mechanic offered an e

- I'm sure it could be done, but it's a VERY poor choice. It would require more modifications than it's worth and a Datsun engine and trans would be a MUCH better alternative as it's a better drive tr

- I'm not sure about the Spitfidget engine, but I do know of people who have fitted a B-series engine & gearbox to their Minor. The Wolseley 1500/Riley 1.5 are Morris Minor floorpans with B series gear

- I haven't heard of this one going well. As others pointed out, the Datsun swap works nicely. I ran a 1275 in my truck for a while and was happy with it. If you want simple, trouble free, and original

- I think the 1275 is a great swap. Our Traveller came to us with a smoothcase behind a 1275; the smoothcase wasn't in great shape after the experience, but was certainly still usable. We have since pu

- There are few swaps that are worth the work - The Datsun 12/13/14/1500 engine was the first engine that was built by Nissan that did not use and BMC licenses, but its design was based on the A Serie
