Hmmm V8 MINI with a mini V8...

Intriguing idea... make your own supercharged V8 to drop in the MINI.
Check out the links to see this guy's hard work at making this engine.

Weber Precision

Sounds awesome... video

Nice thing about that engine is it's size. To insall one in an MCS all you need to do is relocate the battery and go rear drive! Leave everything up front untouched. If you dont feel like relocating the battery, just install it in the glove box instead.
