    In a conversion procedure usually you have to get the most available engine you can buy, otherwise mababalewala yung frame na dinevelop mo, the D engine worlwide has a great following , Kung size lang ang pauusapan di naman masyado malaki ang D, it's a matter kung paano mo sya paiikutin sa given bay area ng Mini, and to think of it sa dami ng surplus supply kahit pasabugin mo yung engine makakabili ka ng half block, tranny or head, Yung L series baka di ka pa pagbentahan ng hiwa hiwalay nun? if ever they command price.

    Kaw naman 1 year ko dinevelop yung D conversion sa MIni gusto mo palitan pa ng ibang engine??? hehehe

    Hahaha. Sabagay, no easy task rin yan. Kudos for that.

    If only I have an aging Mini, i would probably have it converted also. Nice to know na may local expertise for that. Tsaka from the pics, pulido ang frame and work mo. More power!

    sir, I have to say this is a really nice project.

    Care to share how much would a mini chassis and body cost?
