https://www.northamericanmotoring.co.../market/370166 - there is one just a few post down.

Look up Willmek Mini Cooper Parts on facebook ebay.com/str/willmekautoparts, - Adrian Willoughby owns Willmek, he is located in Youngstown, Ohio, personally have met him and can verify he is a stand up guy.



https://www.allmagautoparts.com/ - another option

Does the fact that my car is manual have any effect on receiving an automatic engine to fit?

none , same engine , i like the automatics because they never been raced or abuse , the automatic transmission wont hold performance parts for to long , so all the automatics that come in are always bone stock , no pulleys , no exhaust , no modifications what so ever .

Hmm... The engine was in excellent condition though? Compression etc? What's the shipment to DC price like?

engine was perfect , car was a 1 owner , lady driven , she bought it brand new in 2006 , the Florida SUN took its toll on the red paint and then transmission started slipping after 18 years , so it wasn't worth fixing for her , i have 2 warehouses full of minis and parts , if you would like a compression test i can do that no problem . shipping should be between $350 to $450

Hmm... I'm checking out all my options but, considering I've been the sole owner, and it's kind of a part of me at this point, this is something of interest to me. Let me get back to you on this. Do you need an answer soon?
