A guy has offered me an mpi engine from a 98 Cooper with 32000 miles, he says it comes with everything to fit straight in (i.e. loom, ecu, etc.) Whats it worth? And will it just bolt onto Studs sub-frame? (95' jap import spi)

Well your one is a carb engine (I think they had the carb engine till late 94, early 95, I think!) After that they bought out the SPI (Single Point Injection) engine (which was up to 97, once again I think!) and last was the MPI (Muilti Point Injection) engine which was used in all of the later Mini like the Sportspack's.

Ah I see, I was thinking off changing to carb and Kenny has one that he isn't needing but then he told me about the N.C.T which is another factor I never thought of, I'l ask him if he has the fob and that as someone else may want it?
