It's not
ON a Mini...
Sorry, it's an old motor trade joke, you always get someone asking what's this OFF, so you just say any old random car.
It's not fitted to anything.
SO lol, back to you..

Don't think so it only had 1 pulley but was driven internally via gears or chain.

theres a few on american forums that say itll fit a crossflow block but that could be usual car crap talk, i took the risk in buying it and paying to have it shipped over to find out, i got it cheap enough so will find out in the next few weeks whats what, itll certainly work out alot cheaper to import these cylinder heads then to buy bda items over here if it works, its an EAA cylinder head if anyone wants the technical term, and there are a few differences to the bda from what i can see so far, will give it a clean up tomorrow and first on the list of things to buy is a BDA head gasket to see what holes do/dont line up

ok cheers mate i would appreciate that, cam carrier is another cheapy that i can get sent over if need be as its not very heavy, but would rather find out if the bda one also fits, im trying to find out as much as possible about whats interchangeable between the two if i can, can also have a block pistons rods etc all sent over too but postage on them will add up and probably make the cost of it all pointless if i do
