"I am building a 1275 to the specs of my 1340 Cooper S that I had in the UK.
I had the cam ground close to the 731 cam that I had in that motor. It will
have a big valve head and cooper s distributor. It is .030 over. I have
several leather hides and decided to cover all panels and dash with that. I put
floors, lt rocker and A post piller sections back in it plus a new bonnet.
(Since buying a bonnet I bought a 68 with an excellent bonnet for $400.) Oh well.
All suspension is being rebuilt, and I would like to put a Rivergate in it,
but the cost is currently prohibitive. The ribcase tranny will have to do for
now. I am going to beef up the rear axle and am considering an axle from a 74
as those always seemed to hold up to the 1275. Got any suggestions?"
