Hi all,
I'm new here so please excuse my first post being one asking for something!
I'm looking to convert one of my kit cars, a Minari Road Sport Mk2, from an alfa boxer engine to a 2.0L turbo Subaru engine. This has already been done in the evolution of my car, the Murtaya.
What I don't know is how difficult it's going to be to physically fit the engine in the space. I don't particularly want to buy a donor car, strip it down and then find that it's impossible (or incredibly difficult) to fit the engine in the engine bay. So what I'm looking for is a complete lump (Engine (including ancillaries) + Gearbox) that is knackered. I'm not bothered if its got a rod through the side of the block, the cams taken out, the pistons missing, the valves missing, the crank shot etc. I just need it to build/modify the subframe to take the engine at which point I can buy a working engine (or donor car).
If anybody has anything lying around then let me know what you want for it. The closer to Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire the better but I'd be willing to travel.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all, I just thought I'd introduce myself, hopefully some of you will find my project interesting. I own two Minari Road Sport kit cars, both powered by AlfaSud boxer engines. I'm looking to convert one of them to a Subaru engine like the Murtaya (Which is the evolution of the Minari, based off of the Delfino). The Minari is an interesting car because it uses a Fully Fibreglass monocoque body shell. This makes the car very light weight and also very stiff. Heres a few pictures of them, the blue car is the one thats getting converted: When I got it: Under the bonnet: When it broke down: After several months in storage: The alfa engine: How it currently stands: Both of them together: I hope some of you might find this project interesting and perhaps can help me out along the way. Thanks!
