When all is said & done the Swiftune SW5 is probably one of the best cams on the market because it works with whatever type of engine & spec you decide to use with bags of low down torque. That is the cam i hope to use in the Woody engine when i get it up and running.

I've got a spare 1300GT motor somewhere,  On second thoughts i might use the engine out of the 68 mini. It seems to go fairly well,  |

you could of course go the whole hog with the ultimate 998 motor by sticking a 12G940 (standard 1275) head on . You would have to machine the block to accept the bigger valves. With a couple of other small mods ie cam etc you could easily outpace a standard 1275 mini. Keith Calver did an in depth build of one of these motors in MINI Magazine a few years back, with awesome results, |

Acid - When my 1380 is ready, I'll give you a spin in it - I'll show you what a decently built 1380 with a SW5-07 Cam will do!  |
