2lt 16v conversion is easy in a mini as is the honda b16a.

there is a company that advertisese in PPC and retro cars that do a full kit for XE conversions into a mini.

so yes, very doable.

if dar looks on this thread he might put some pictures he has of the one he has had on his drive. it was only an 8v but you can see there is room for a 16v easily.

and it wasn't a gt shell like the one in the pic with the v8 in.
