Classic Mini with Twin Cam BMW Bike Engine Head goes Hillclimbing

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today Trevor visits with Ben Bonfield who built and raced his Classic Mini to many Hill Climbing division titles.
You will see how a competitive Hill Climb Race Car is built and receive a guide so that you can take your car and race it!
From every day sports cars (like MX 5s) to Modified Roadsters (like Caterhams and Westfields) to Single Seat Racecars, Trevor and Ben will show you all the rungs up the HillClimb ladder.
Do you want to Hillclimb and have questions?
. Can I use my daily driver?
. What are the rules and regulations?
We'll take a deep dive into Ben's Classic Mini which is an absolute Hillclimb Monster too.
Yes, the Creature Comforts are gone and that's because it's Full Race now!
. Rally rated Transmission, Suspension mods, Electric Power steering, Fuel Cell info and more.
. and what about the Engine? … 16 Valves! … Twin Cam!
This Classic Mini, is truly amazing!
Its powered by (what was originally) a 1275 cc cast Iron classic mini block and is now married to a Twin Cam BMW K series Motorcycle head.
Gone are the overhead valves, pushrods and rockers. … WoW!
Stay tuned, … this is going to be great!

    Excellent vid. Found a hillclimb ticket in our Kit Car when we got it. Often wondered what it was about.

    In the late 90's I met a man in the Los Angeles area that had a wicked fast Mini. He had a BMW twin cam head and a turbo. Thing was nuts. I was told if you didn't pay attention when you floored it you shifted a lane over. He brought it out for a club dyno day, but didnt run it, he just came to hang out.

    I've seen this modification before and it's highly effective, back in the day longman slark head's were used to good effect too.
