Where is the radiator supposed to go?
I guess you can use a front mounted one?

Hows this coming along?
Looks interesting,had a look at an imp conversion last year,mini gearbox,imp top end,had a one off crank made for it,was a lovely bit of kit.
I was running a 1600 xflow in a mk1 escort a few years back ,went very well.I would think that one in a mini would be great fun.I like the fact that its not a full on engine change either,still got a hint of an a-series there.
