Thank You Mini Mania for this post https://www.minimania.com/

We saw this article, felt it needed to be passed along.

The story comes from  Grassroots Motor Sports (https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/jdm-powered-morris-minor/) and details the story of a Morris Minor’s metamorphosis into a hotrod powered by a  Toyota twin-cam 4A-GE engine.

Averages  33 miles per gallon,  cruises along at 75 mph with everything going,  and produces so many gawking head-turns that they’re impossible to count, this Morris is a sight to behold.

Check out a couple of teaser pictures at the bottom of the page , then head to the article for a full download.  Hats off to Grass Motor Sports and Zach Merrill, the owner.
