Well to be fair depends how far you wuna go and how deep your pocket is
What will the car be used for
And I just bought a 1275 engine stripped it down found the gearbox was shot so that being rebuilt has taken me a while as I'm still an apprentice all you need is send your engine to machine shop get them to fit pistons to rods best to get some arp head bolts and conrod bolts ( there updated )
A Center main strap fitted to block takes stress and woo out of the Center of the crank
You can run a standard crank but I think it's best to get an up rated one
Have some work done on your head or bigger valves and gas flowed ( big improvement)
And to be fair I bought a head wich was heavily modified and got that cheap had it checked over and didn't need rebuild so in total that owes me £155
Pistons £310
And all the work from bill Richards ie rebore ,main strap etc is around £500-600
Best thing is do loads and loads of re search ring a local machine shop and have a chat or depends we're your from like if you near a mini spares , mini sport , med engineering etc ring and have a chat to them and see what they recommend
Sorry I can't help much more than that it hard to explain a lot on the net via typing lol
My very messy garage (not always like this lol )
My mini on stands again while I do bottom arms , track rod ends and boots top swivels
My engine just put back together so it's al together when it gets sent to bill Richards in the next few weeks
