The story comes from Grassroots Motor Sports (https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/jdm-powered-morris-minor/) and details the story of a Morris Minor's metamorphosis into a hotrod powered by a Toyota twin-cam 4A-GE engine.
Averages 33 miles per gallon, cruises along at 75 mph with everything going, and produces so many gawking head-turns that they're impossible to count, this Morris is a sight to behold.
Check out a couple of teaser pictures at the bottom of the page , then head to the article for a full download. Hats off to Grass Motor Sports and Zach Merrill, the owner.
