An R1 will fit in the front without a flip or extended front when configured for FWD

Cheers Iank. My only prob is I am turning the engine 90 degrees (locost stylee) so I need to know the old dimensions to check against my engine
Going for front engine rear wheel drive you see

Yeah, but I'd posted before you'd posted that.
Don't see why it shouldn't fit to be honest, if you're making a tunnel, you have a lot of latitude on where to put things.

There is approximately 450mm depth to the opening, a bit more lower down but you would have to chop the subrame at the back for the propshaft anyway

I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of my Mini - I have had it under a fitted cover in a lean-to shed for the last 4 years. It does not look
any worse than when I put it away - I expected a little pile of rust which would crumble when I took off the cover Although I do know that it will
need a few panels replaced if I ever want to go on the Italian Job again.

My spaceframed Mini project is lying under a cover on my trailer, there is now a FF1600 in the garage awaiting a ZX10 engine transplant.
Actually manage to do some work to it this week - got the old Renault engine/transaxle out of the chassis. - Anyone fancy this unit for a middy?

No worries mate
I paid £900 complete. It has NO rust and the whole front has been replaced, plus the front and rear have been de-seemed (bumpers). It just needs
primer and paint I will be selling off the engine etc... Plus it has Cobra Seats with the correct seat frames, a set of wheels and brand new tyres
that I don't want so they will also be going along with the new rear sub frame

I know of one that is a SHELL ONLY and it already has a flip front (bolted on) available for £150! I does need a bit of welding but not too much.
