Well, That would be an option, but a sportspack mini here, or to get one here is about 15-20 thousand dollars. Ive spent most of the money I've made through summer jobs and such (I just finished university so I am poor) on my mini. ahah and I know all about the rotting, i had to replace all the floors, trunk floor, rear quarters, entire front end, rear subframe and i welded in about 50 patches. They also don't stand up to well to the unnecessary amount of salt they use on the road here. I would love to be able to get an spo or mpi, but even shipping the engine here is super expensive. So l'm really looking for something i can do on a budget. If i had the money i would love a nice 1275. Also the Canadian heads have ports for air injection which according to Wikipedia helps burn unburned gas, which i think would help a lot with the emissions. Its just the air pump system that they came with didn't seem to effective. I just really love driving it, but I don't like that it has no emission controls. With this day and age i would really like to reduce the emissions, and I think it would be really cool if people could reduce the emissions on their classic cars.
