1.)STANDARD RECONDITIONED 1275CC ENGINE
This fits easily in place of the 1098cc Morris engine and the standard
gearbox is all right if the car is not used as a racer. The ancillaries
from the 1098cc engine are fitted to the new engine. The power output
is not spectacular but gives drivers more flexibility to quickly pass
other vehicles and offers a comfortable cruising speed on trunk roads
and motorways a welcome relief from being pushed onto the verge by
trucks and buses!
The larger engine can be fitted without suspension improvements but
it is advisable to improve the brakes, and a servo would be considered
a minimum. Also, it is necessary to fit hardened half shafts to handle
the additional power created by the engine.

NB: Toughened half shafts are again essential to handle the extra power output
of the 1300 engine. All engines are supplied to run on lead free fuel
- please note that leaded fuel can also be used in lead free engines
and will not damage the engine in any way.
2.)GEARBOX OPTIONS
The gearbox conversion we have developed is a 5 speed one based on
the Ford Sierra gearbox. This gearbox is very strong and durable with
full synchromesh in all forward gears. Fifth gear pulls well behind
a 1300 engine and is also suitable behind a standard 1098 engine, offering
deceased engine revolutions at cruising speed, and therefore less engine
stress and greater fuel economy. Kit includes bell-housing, gearbox
and all necessary items.
