Happy little truck.
Original 850 with magic wand was anemic. Now a much better all around Car. .060 over bored flat top pistons. 998 a+
Hs4 carb. Aftermarket alloy intake manifold. Man flow cooper 3 into 1 exhaust manifold. 12g1316 - 1275 head. Had to grind a little of the head to clearance the water pump pulley.
Rc40 twin box mufflers. 4 sync remote trans. Swapped to original magic wand. Original yolk style axle outputs. Drum brakes. 3.21 CWP output gearing.
Thanks for adding this Justin. For those reading this, this is the owner right here. :-)
Cole just found this episode , what a nostalgic trip down memory lane . I purchased my first car in 1976 a white 1963 mini pickup the previous owner had painted colourful balls and balloons all over it, I had some one repaint it red. It was constantly in need of attention, but was a great little car, really useful around the farm and life in general, could have done with a bench seat in the cab, but we used to manage by stuffing cushions down on top of the hand brake so three of us could go down the pub, who ever got the middle seat had to change gears. I burnt the exhaust valve out on number one the seat was knackered to rather than rebuild the head for which I had no money I nipped down to a friends breaker yard and stripped the head off a mini he pointed out cost me a fiver, only when I had finished did I take a look it was a 1000 auto, Took it home decoked it and ground in the valves and fitted it without giving it a thought inspite of the fact I knew it would raise the compression ratio it never crossed my mind, to cut a long story short it went well for a while but the elderly rings decided it was too much for them I was burning nearly as much oil as petrol.
I love your channel. I work on my 1960 MKI mini mostly myself. Recently I received a “super” 998 motor built by Jemal Ketat ( he used to work just down the street from 7 at mini mania 🤫) similar but with the Australian big bore, flat top pistons, he stroked this engine as well, close ration gearing with an LSD. Quick steering rack, it’s a real street rocket! It is a beats of a motor and indeed a really great idea to hot rod your 998’s bringing them a bit more up to modern highway standards. Mine will do 80-90mph on the highway no prob! What a joy to drive a classic mini in life. Great work and thank you for your wisdom and preserving old metal! Miniacs for life!
Every mini owner's dream that. Gorgeous machine
Pure visual & audio joy on 4 wheels.
you have this listed as both the first and last video in the 998 series playlist
Damn it Cole!. Now I need a new keyboard, I drooled on top of it.
😂
998s are such nice revving engines. I had a 998 Van with a Cooper S head, inlet, exhaust etc. it was faster than my wifes stage one 1275. It loved to rev, shorter gearing also helped.
Yeah it’s pretty damn crazy how well this runs. I’m pretty impressed.
Awesome Cole...Hopefully you'll end up with the pickup
gorgeous engine sound
You ain’t kidding. Love this little red car
@@classicminidiy picking up some 998s this afternoon to practice disassembling and reassembling. all because of your videos. i hope to restore my original mini 1000 and maybe get some more power. thx for your videos!
Great stuff, Cole & Justin, that's a great little pick-up, and looks like she goes very well. I've been using Seven for all the goodies for my '69 Morris Cooper for many years now, back to when they started in Virginia, and had them rebuild the original 998 and remote box for me back in 2013. Probably not quite as extreme as Justin's, but Steve managed to throw a few upgrades at it, and it's still running very strong. I highly recommend them.Great video, keep them coming!
Great video Cole, I've finally found the time to sit and watch this :)
Thanks will!
Wow, very nice
Cole, That engine sounds really sweet great job! The pick up is in super condition and a credit to it‘s owner, Cheers Dave
Thanks Dave!!
Gorgeous little pick up, the red looks lovely. And the engine sounds great too, a job well done! 😊
Thank you!
Great video! One thing I would've added if I was you was a wee interview with the dog at the end... So many unanswered questions...
😂😂😂
Just noticed you driving in bare feet LOL
😁 I have big feet and it’s hard to drive with shoes on. 😅
Congratulations bro! That mini is lucky not to be junked
Thanks!! I can’t take credit for the mini but I’m proud of my part of the engine. 🙂
Nice MK3 mini
I’ll tell the owner you said so
Perhaps fitting a hot weather fan would help. They are supposed to be a bit more noisy but it sounds like the car would be better for it.
Yeah if the pump pulls solution doesn’t solve it that’s the plan. He has a fan installed on another one of his minis and it works great.
Classic Mini DIY I wonder if the radiator shroud will make a difference?
Awesome 998 looks and sounds great. I have a 998 also and am contemplating doing the same thing, how did you get the valve clearance on the block side?
Easiest way is with a dremal and some time. I have some close ups in the earlier parts of this series. The “right” way is to use a specialized tool at the machine shop to create pockets. I like the dremal method more because it’s easier.
Love the sound of the BMC A-series engine. Really, who needs a V8? It's also nice to see that it was left as right hand drive.
I completely agree! Yeah he usually swaps them for LHD because it’s a pain in the ass driving RHD in the USA but he kept this one original. 👍🏼
Here in Australia, people tend to have a thing for old American muscle cars and a lot of them are kept as LHD. I tend to quickly notice chrome bumpers and always give a thumbs up to the driver for keeping a classic car alive, only to feel a bit dumb when I realise I did it to the passenger.
A good way to make power on an A series long stroke engine put a A plus head on it
Great conversion and great video. What is the impact of converting the cylinder head on the horsepower?
Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t have any direct numbers. Just butt dyno. The car specifically at higher RPM just feels more open and responsive. The extra air volume I think really makes the biggest difference cruising and at speed. Acceleration feels a bit snappier but nothing drastic there. The 998 is already a really responsive platform at lower RPMS.
@@classicminidiy What do you think about revising the engine tub (thinner) and the engine's longevity? I have also a 998, and your video exposed me to a small virus ;)
Bar on the front end spoils it..
Did the owner of the Mini pickup change out the front brakes to discs,for safety concerns.
Still drums at the moment. Might be doing a disc conversion eventually. I hope to film it if we do. 👍🏼
What sort of bhp did you get from the engine?
Didn’t measure it to be honest. It’s roughly “faster than it was before” give or take. 😁
So there was no loss of torque low down?
Hello is this dificult to fini à mini pick up ? I m leaving in France
Mini pickups seem to be very rare and hard to find these days. You may have more luck shopping in the UK and importing it to France.
In this car can you go 70 mph at still hear after 10 mins?
Yes actually the pickup is much quieter than the saloon version as the cab I smaller. The 998s are pretty quiet. If it was an 850 you’d be deaf for sure.
It must go, not often you get an American to sware ;)
Oh trust me, my videos might not show it but I have the mouth of a sailor. :-D
@@classicminidiy Anyone who has the "pleasure" to work on a classic Mini will have a mouth of a sailor (and bloody hands)!
Mmmmmm..... pickup.....
