LS1 Minor

Post by plastic orange »

Got my engine at last - minus the Radiator, prop and gear linkage (to be forwarded). I will be trial fitting it in my chassis tomorrow.
Engine is very clean, and looks like it will fit ok (I hope).

Some pics:

Trial fitted engine to make sure it was going to sit where i wanted it. The engine is from a 1998 Camaro, and has an EGR system that I'm going to remove (clean it up a bit). Fortunately the headers will fit just fine, and I'll just have to fab new mounts for engine/box.
Once It's located, I'll look at the electrical and fuel side of things, and read up as much as I can find on running it without cats, egr etc.

Side view - engine isn't very tall, so should be able to keep bonnet brace

Engine from my other Minor - should sit about the same position, but lower

Sadly, I've not been near the project for a while - eventually.

I find it quite amusing when you say it's a Morris Minor, looking at it without the body on! It stretches my imagination quite a bit!!
