Since I am based in New Zealand, metro turbo motors aren't exactly
thick on the ground. In fact I have never seen one.

What I do have is a late 70's 1300 motor from an all-agro(Allegro)

Bearing in mind this is an A series as against A+, what are the
differences between the MG Metro turbo motor and a stock 1275 A
series.

Head, cam, clutch etc.

The reason for asking is that it is feasible to get a turbo and
manifold out from the UK, but not a whole motor, I won't be able to
afford that cost of shipping. If it is semi-plausible to bolt this to
a rebuilt 1300 then I will probably try it. If the motor is not going
to handle it for more than 1000kms then I will flag the idea, and
probably move to intercooling as an easier way of getting more horses.

So, please tell me about the differences, or a project like it you
have done, or drop me an email if you know of a metroturbo, especially
if it is NZ...
