Son-in-law has a Mini so naturally its in my shop.  I am hoping its 
primered and ready to re-assemble by Thanksgiving.  I have all the 
welding done, no more rust on that sucker.

A gun is like a parachute, if you need one but don't have it,
you'll probably never need one again.

I have a Elf I found on this list a few years ago (thanks to Billy
Zoom). It had a worn out 998 in it that I replaced with a 1275 from an
automatic transmission Mini.  That block took a few modifications to
make work with the manual gearbox, and I went with the Schneider
racing cam mild street grind cam, and that car runs like snot. I have
no problem hitting 70+ up the 6% grade to work. It is a fun family
car.

The whole experience has motivated me to upgrade the Bugeye I bought
in '83 to a 1275.  I have the same spec build being sitting on my
workbench right now.  I finally got the block back from the machinist
two weeks ago.

 I put the disks and sway bar on about a year ago.  I had the parts for the
swap for the last 10-15 years, and moved them from Tucson, to Houston, to
San Diego before installing them.

The Datsun swap always struck me as a little pricey.  I've just acquired a
3.9 diff to help keep the revs down.  I have a good smoothcase with rib
case internals in the car, and I just rebuilt the rib case that has been
sitting under my workbench for the last 10 years (also made the moves).
What are people spending on these swaps now?

While the block was at the machinist, I rebuilt 2 sets of HS2 carbs from my
collection. My plan is to get this all together, and clear some of these
parts out.  I need to address my hoarding issues.
