engine difference from convertible to hardtop
Anyone know what is the difference between engines on a 2008 cooper S from hardtop to Convertible?
According to Car-part.com, the engines are not interchangeable. In my area, the engines for the convertible about half the price as the hard tops. I want to put a convertible engine into a hardtop. Think it will work?

I believe in 2008 the Convertible was still the R52 body style and used the Tritec I4. 2009 introduced the R57 with the N-series engines they were using in the R56.
It would be like trying to put a R53 engine in an R56, pretty sure it doesn't work without some significant modification.
