WHY! would you want to put an motorbike engine in a car?! a lad i know has a front engined R1 powered mini, and its not amazingly quick and the noise is just stupid.
take a look on 16vminiclub.co.uk vtec, 2.0 vaux engines, and the small block vaux engines, (im currently doing a 1.8 16v) are the favorite conversions. subframes can be bought off the shelf too.
try allspeed engineering. pricey, but all the R&D is done and they bolt straight in.

There's a garage down the rd from where I used to work down my way called ken sheldrake and there used to be a guy who worked there called john who built vtech powered minis. I used to see him test driving them up the road when he'd finished, never seen/heard anything like it lol!!!!

Just turbocharging and inter cooling an a series in a mini is quite a task, any other engine is a big task, only for the good fabricators

Bike engines run out of steam to quick in cars as they weigh a lot more than a bike frame. There's a honda s2000 engine one in Basingstoke and it is rapid! Also the vaxhall red top 2.0 16v engine is still a good one in these and the bits are off the shelf
