HI,
My son has a 1990 998cc Mini out of Japan with A/C and automatic transmission. The motor seized and it has been recommended we take the subframe, engine with a manual transmission from a 1275A car and replace the automatic and 998 engine. Brooklands in Tacoma is doing the engine-swap work, but the motor and transmission we had planned on buying turns out to have some problems which will cost a lot to fix. In case the seller and I can't come to an agreement (he's a good guy so I'm hopeful we can negotiate a lower price than originally agreed upon), is there anyone out there (in the Tacoma/Seattle area) with a good, reliable 1275A with a manual transmission? If so, what is the price you'd ask for it? For that matter, what is a fair price for a good, used 1275 engine transmission in general? Thanks for the help! Please feel free to email me at chrisvkimball@msn.com Sincerely, Chris
