ok so here is the deal

I have a 1960 Morris Minor van that I am getting running again and I am going to be putting the motor and trans out of a datsun in the beast. now I know this is a very simple conversion and there are motor mount and trans mount kits out there but I cannot find any.

does anyone know where I might find this stuff here or abroad?

thanks again
great forum
 
Paul Asgeirsson, Morriservice, Portland Oregon is my best bet. I don't have a telephone number though.
 
It shouldn't be too different than the chaps who have Datsun engine / gearboxes in their Sprites. Except the Morris has more space to work with. RickB comes to mind first, but I know there's also a Bugeye with a Datsun unit, though I forget who has it. Several of the Sprite people have installed Datsun gearboxes using Asgeirsson's kits. You might try searching the Spridget forum forum for "datsun".
