If you told someone selling a Mini what you had planned, I don't think they would sell it to you.

You can however get whole front ends, adapters and wiring to put a Honda V-tec engine in a Mini, so with the V-tec-E, you might be able to get 60mpg or better with normal driving.
Here in eu (netherlands) you can buy 850/1000 cc minis for under 500€. With beatup bodys. Zo you have the subframes to use.plus the gearbox steering setup and padals.
