C20LET is a good fit too, but... To unreliable in my opinion

However, Could always go for B16A or something

Looks like a cross between new and old mini.

There's an XE'd one near me.

Granted, its your opinion, but the LET's I have owned have always been spot on. If you look after them, they will look after you.

Let is much better conversion than a rover one

B16A is a bit of a nightmare

because to get the similar final drive to a mini you have to use 15" wheels with a b16 and box, which on a mini is nearly impossible with normal bodywork

with a xe/let the F16 box and 13" wheels gives a perfect final drive

13.4s are achievable from the little 1275 A-series

It's a bog standard b16a at the moment, i have a mate who runs in the 14's in a 1275, and another with an old mini van with a metro turbo lump running around 155bhp that also does 13's which is just scary at 18psi.
