You also will struggle to fit two twin choke webbers on a mini, ive personally never seen it done, even to fit a single sidedraught webber you have to muck around with the bulkhead as its too close.
You are wrong man people in NZ bore minis out to 1440, and if by a slight chance you are right about not being able to bore a mini to 1275, then you just get an engine from an Austin or MG 1300 which has bigger valves. You also take the 1300 gearbox which ways about twice a mini one so then you are able to develop power. Also you can fit twin sidedraft webbers on a mini as all the 140hp racing minis in NZ do have them. Sorry I meant front wheel discs from a honda city which is a very easy conversion to make.

yo flyby b.itch, if you are so sick of the thred why do you keep looking at it and adding to it. u should stop living off the government and get a job so you can get a datsun of your own. Then u mite stop giving other people ####.
PS i bet if you took the ultimate survey it would say that you are mechanically inept.

go for the mini, sounds like a great buy, I currently have a mini which is (currently) pretty stock. Minis are the #### for handling they are awesome, already low with hard suspension. If you want a fun club racer for not much money minis are the way. To start developing power for not much cost this is what you need to do: get a 1300 (big valve) engine from an MG1300 of bore the origional engine to that size, get a hot cam, port the head, add extractors, put a twin carb manifold with twin choke side draft webbers. all relatively cheap mods and you develop about 90-110 HP. with wide-wheels and 4 wheel discs it should be a force to reckon with. However if you were to do the same modifications to you datsun you would definently davelop more power. The choice is really yours.

no it wont be a classic, but a CA18DET 1200 would be competitive on most classes of racing
