I don't know if you've found http://www.wheeldictionary.net/ yet, but it's a good way to find some 10" wheels..

The Austin Mini's are so cool, such a neat little car! Looking forward to this.

love this

A tuned 998 is a little more tourqey than a 1275. But a 1275 with twin carbs and nice cam would be lovely

That's what I've been reading. I just picked up Vizard's bible on the A-Series. There is something appealing about sticking to the 998 and building it out.

I think the honda swaps are rad, but they're not really for me personally. It's a little too far of a divergence from the classic nature that draws me to these cars.

cant wait to see more i love classic minis

I'm not looking for crazy power, so the current plan is to stick to 1275 and build it out at that size. I just need something that's quicker than the slow-poke 998 that's in there currently

It could be worse... You could of had an 850 like mine and the 998 is an upgrade! I'm looking forward to see how this turns out

amazing

Very nice. Much cleaner than mine but I paid nothing for it so not surprising really.

What powerplant are you going for 1430?
