Absolutely in love with this 1100 build. It may be one of my favorite builds to date. It's got all the parts that make it uniquely mini, with some really choice quality of life updates.

For those asking. Here’s the new engine stand plate welded in place on a pre-A engine. Perfectly balanced and bolts right up. So pleased! Please don’t judge my ugly welding.

Very pleased with the quality of our newest products on the store. The engine stand mounting plate. (Some welding required) to mount your classic mini engine to your standard engine stand.

Man finally starting to get this 1100 built up and assembled and it’s looking so sweet. Gonna be such a blast to drive. High torque + low down = lots of fun. Now we just need that head back from the machine shop! Video in progress as we assemble this beauty.

The 1100 block is back from Gibbons Motorsport here in NC. Ready to get painted, the final hone, and built up so we can get our deck height measurements for the head shop! Very excited about this phase of the build!

Some really excellent touches to the 1100 mini for @its_jerryy while we wait for the engine from @gibbonsmotorsports. The beautiful @thirdshedmoto bulkhead cover. I kind of want to replace mine as this is such a beautiful upgrade. And of course a new classic steering wheel with lap timer flare to...

A little wire clean up on this New Zealand car to prep for the engine to get built and go back in. Huge shout to @prowireusa for the excellent fabric heat shrink to clean up this worn out harness. Best time to do wiring like this with the engine out, so much room! SWIPE FOR BEFORE

Quiet and cold evening in the garage tonight. Clean up and prep work for the engine bay on the New Zealand mini. A+ 998 up on the stand soon to harvest the block for our 1100 build.

Well how fun! After getting this â850â out of the engine bay and looking a little closer under the sludge on the back. We in fact have an 1100 long stroke 998 in this little car. With no engine plate on the front of the engine we had no idea this wasnât an 850! This changes things consider...

Old tired 850 is out of there and the engine is split. Time to clean up this old gearbox and get the ânewâ 998 stripped and off to the machine shop.

More designing and prepping for my custom installation of the @apracingltd master cylinders for brake and clutch in my classic mini. A video is coming in this but this ended up being way more work than expected! Thanks for the inspiration @fordster84
