mini donor

[kitcarkid]

ok so for my project i was planning to use a ford zetec engine but i had a thought
has anyone ever fitted a mini engine (bmw) in to a haynes roadster locost

i ask because i will soon be starting a new job at mini and if i can use a mini engine i might be able to get cheaper parts and will get servicing etc cheaper

anyone know if its bin done and would i need a differant gearbox?

if i can go ahead with it i plan to tune the engine

thanks
