Question:
1. How many HP this engine 1275HP_ENG_ULT. 2. I have a mini classic type MKIII rover, manual & 980 CC and want to change this engine to 1275 CC 3. Is this engine 1275HP_ENG_ULT suitable to my front subframe..? 4. What kind of part should be replaced/add if I replace the existing engine..?
Answer:
All of our engines are custom built at the time of order so nothing in stock. The blocks are the same size so it will drop right in. You should replace the exhaust system and fuel intake system with larger single carb or dual carbs.
