Source for assembled 1275 shortblock?

Hi all --

I'm looking for an assembled 1275 shortblock to replace the tired 1275 that's in my mini. MiniMania sells an assembled 1380 shortblock, but I don't see any 1275 listed other than complete engine+trans kits.

Anyone know where I can pick up a 1275 ready to install?

cheers,
Jeff

Try contacting them. They sell the whole unit so I don't see why they couldn't set you up with just the short block. Give 7 enterprises a call as well, they are pretty helpful on the phone every time I talked to them. They probably don't advertise them on the web cause they make more money selling the whole unit.

MiniMania has 1275, or at least web says they do.....best to call and talk

ditto Seven

Mini Sport has several options too, but expect to pay a lot for shipping and duty

DJMINIS.COM in Wesley Chapel FL is a dealer for them. He also can supply a rebuilt block from his shop, or rebuild yours.

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah, I'm looking for an assembled 1275 that I can install a head and transmission on and get this thing on the road.

I'll give these companies a call.

thanks again for the info.
