Anything is possible.

Depends on your definition of sensible really. But i would say, defiantly not.

the easiest would be the allspeed awd front and rear subbys or you could get a suzuki/subaru awd setups and convert it yourself but all depends on your budget in mind, none are cheap or within SENSIBLE PRICE RANGE..... but any conversion is possible with a mini as i have a donor sr20det 4x4 setup but may need a spaceframe to help the body from twisting....

what have you in mind

[DAVEY_C]

take a look at 16vminiclub.co.uk for ideas

Twin engined cars were outlawed a while back, at least that type of installation. Twin engined vehicles must now have the engines driving a common pair of wheels and cannot have the engines independently driving different axels.

Pity, a twin engined Mini was on my long term todo list.

my understanding is that you can still do it, you can only use one engine one the road though.

BL did a 4 wheel drive rally car in about 68 used a different diff housing, the rear drive coming off the diff to the back axle

Special Tuning did a rallycross Clubman but it was pretty crude. I didn't have a centre diff and it would wind it self up like a spring until it got onto the dirt and the wheels could spin.
