1993 Mini Heart Transplant!
Can anyone tell me please will a 1989 1275cc engine fit straight into a 1993 Mini Mayfair that had a 1275cc engine without any changes to the wiring loom etc. Will the starter from the 1993 fit the older engine as previous projects have shown that modifications can be needed Many thanks
Many thanks

Mini Vans never left the factory with 1275s. Is it from something else?

Metro Van engine ?
If you get the engine number it will be possible to decipher it.

Different beast altogether.
The Maestro version of the engine is turned round the opposite way to the Mini engine and as you have said uses a Volkswagen gearbox mounted on the side. Whole different kettle of fish.
