so who else has a 1100 engine and has overbored it? i've got a 1220 that i'm building and just trying to get a gauge on what i might be able to expect from it.

I took one out to 60 thou, ran a 285 rally spec cam in it, 12G295 head and a LCB - made about 65HP on the rollers, was one of my fav A series builds ever.

looking at fitting a better alternator that i can use on both my 998 and new 1220 engine. Whats the race type alternator like on road cars is it worth the cost?

What is better.... more amps? For me the race type alternator is not required on a road car. in a Race car - low amps drawn, large pulley to reduce output, low weight and hopefully rugged but essentially doesn't get a lot of work. In a Road car- more miles, more output required ( lights sound ), no need for weight saving. The price on the competition types is not really justifying it for road use. Just my opinion

21 years I bought the mini stripped it and it's been sat ever since, Bugs back wheels and arches on order and a growing shopping list, and the bodywork is booked in with mill road

To the man who left Debbie and her son stranded on the side of the A41 this evening by leaving their car up on a jack and telling them that their spare wheel wouldn't fit (it did) , you are lucky the TMF swear filters exist. I can't say what I really think about you. Fortunately I showed up, sorted your mess out and got them out of a dangerous situation.
