This 2004 Mini Cooper S is for sale on Craigslist in San Diego, California with an asking price of $6,950 OBO or trades. The little car was converted to RWD and powered by a turbocharged 350 ci Chevy small-block V8 that produces 600 horsepower. Behind that is a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and Toyota 4Runner rear end with 3.73 gears. The radiator now sits inside the cabin where the passenger seat resided and the rear suspension is now a 4-link.

I am interested in the V8 conversion of your Mini Cooper. I would like to retain the seating (at least two seats) and relocate the radiator to the rear. How did you build the front chassis to support the V8? I am in Mesa, Arizona and would appreciate any help that you could assist with for a Mini Cooper conversion of my own.
I recommend contacting with the builder https://www.instagram.com/cm_fabman/
The guy who bought this car seems annoying g while the guy who built it seems cool.
I want it
