I think you're right, Mark jumped on it pretty quickly. We did try talking him into the V6 he has lying around but he didn't bite. Thanks for watching 👍
I have an A+ from a marina destined for a Morris Minor 🤔 I’m interested to see how you get on 🤔 I understand the flywheel may need changing/adapting to accommodate a MM gearbox and the exhaust manifold presents differently to the exhaust. It may also be worth changing the diff to a 3.9 or 3.7 to get the most out of the cruising potential of a 1275 A+ . An interesting project and very jelly of your van 👍 PS the LCV’s were fitted with low comp engines 🤔 not quite sure how low, low is 😂
loved the laugh when you said ow that hurt lol why do people do that lol will you need to up grade the brakes and sussp and steering ??? for the 1275 might do the same in a few years looking good chaps
I lifted a 1275 A-Series into a Passat estate by using two long planks as a ramp and ‘shuffling’ the engine up the slope in front of me. I’m certainly not made of muscle.😊
saw here on utube last year a man lift dead weight from engine bay 1098 engine out , then lifted it up on his work bench
amazing
Your lucky to find a 1275 marina engine nowdays!

That’s a cool upgrade. Looking forward to seeing the restoration begin on this

Ha ha, yes that left a mark😅 thanks for watching👍
How about Metro engines?
I think Marc is happy with the 1275, but a metro engine, dare I say turbo, would be cool in my opinion 👍

Workspace/shed/garage never big enough is it, anyone else got motorbikes indoors?
We could always use more space, garage height and time, or smaller hobbies. 👍

What did you do with your minor engine and box I’m looking for a running engine for my Marina Van
Hi, I will ask Marc (the Morris is his) 👍
@@anotherpieceofskrap27 thanks my engine is seized just looking for a runner in the meantime to get it on the road
Hi, apologies for the slow response, Marc says he wants to hang on the old engine, but it was worth an ask👍
@@anotherpieceofskrap27 hi ok no problem thanks for replying
Hi Again hope your well,,, Im about to transplant a Minor engine into my Marina. How did you get on with gearbox and flywheel
