Wow, that's a bit of a different question!

Where do you start/stop? Rover V8? Audi 1.8, Vaux 2.0, Honda 2.0, Ford 2.2 turbo'd and NOS...

He said 'fit straight in' Alex! You have to do a lot of chopping to get a Chevy engine in, the Rover V8 goes straight in the Clubman body.

Don't know why the question has to be about 1275 Minis though, if you're replacing the engine it won't be a 1275 any more!
