Well, this morning i agreed to buy this... a 1071 's' motor... its not just any 's' motor either, apart from being a 1071, its even more speshul because its was an oselli engine, before being rebuilt by dutchspeed 3 years ago. Since its rebuild it was run in, then left for 3 years - and now its mine
These are the pics off the ebay ad, will be goin to pick it up on the 15th. Unfortunatly, i cant afford to put it in the car till the end of august, because thats when i renew my insurance, and after spending what i have done on this engine, i don't have enough to put it on the road. It needs a set of s/c drops and a cross pin diff so it can be usd with the cooper c/r box i rebuilt and it needs a few other ancillaries...
Also comes with the fly and clutch all balanced for the engine
This was the description.......
stage 3 head with 14.4 cc per chamber
metro turbo head bolts
1.5 rockers with steel rocker shaft
maniflow matched port to carb inlet manifold
weber 45 carb with k/n filter
osseli rocker cover
286 scatter cam (kent)
vernier duplex timeing chain
remote oil filter
aldon distributor
12.6 - 1 comp raito
en40b all steel crank
steel flywheel with steel clutch pressure plate with grey diafram
the crank and flywheel was sent off to osselli to be lightened and balanced to produce maximim power
all in all this is a very rare oppertunity to bye an extremely rare engine, it was rebuilt around 3 yrs ago then run in then removed frrom car and put into storage, it produces around 105 B.H.P and revs its nuts off to 9000 rpm
I'm not gonna say what i paid for it, but to me, its now priceless, cant wait till august now
Love Mini Coupes! My best friend has one.
