- What, besides the very obvious, crankshaft, backing plate etc, is involved in using a 1275 engine from a mini in a sprite? Is it do-able but not worth the hassle? Andy

- It's do-able and many have been done. The major benefits are availability and a thick flange block. You'll need at least a crank, caps and backing plate plus other mods. It's probably better value to

- I've got a 1275 in my sprite and a 850cc that goes in a mini wagon. The difference seems to be the front plate it doesn't have the mounting for the engine mounts that the spridget engine has, the oil

- It isn't easily do-able and certainly not worth the hassle given current Spridget or even Marina block availability. However, Oselli Engineering in the UK did a lot of work with the later A+ transver

- Am I right in thinking the backplate has to be a one-off special? Also what are the other mods? Daniel1312 << It's do-able and many have been done. The major benefits are availability and a thick fl

- Carrying on from Daniel1312s comments on the A+ engine, The Marina was bettered by the Ital engine which has extra visible ribs on the side of the block, provision for the use of post 25D type distri

- Yes it doable and worth it if you are comming up from 948 or 1098. Much stronger engine. I also believe if I'm right it is 5 main as opposed to 3 main bearings in 948and 1098. Moose Co founder and Co

- But thers no drilling/grinding involved is there? 1275 Marinas aren't so easy to find. I have an 1100 sprite crank and it will get a rivergate back plate.

- I can't remember the details because it was so long ago I enquired, best to mail Rob Thomas. In Australia the Marina engines are ex New Zealand and batches come up now and then, I don't think they ha
