Thanks to all the people who told me I cannot
use a Mini engine in a Sprite.
Now, what other cars used longitudinal A-Series
engines besides Spridgets and Marinas?
I am not interested in very old models because
I'm sure those engines cannot be found anymore.
How about an engine from a Marina? Will it fit
using the existing rib-caged gearbox?
Judging from the way the oil filter canister bolts
to the main block (directly, at an angle, under the
#4 sparkplug - no oil filter head), I think my engine
may be from a Marina!
If this is true, is the Marina 1275 engine better
or worse (performance-wise) than a 1275 Spridget unit?
