I have a 1973 MG Midget with a 1275 cc engine. After reading David Visards Book it appears that the parts for the A series and A + Series engines are interchangeable. I would like to put the A+ series engine in, will it go straight in or will the crankshaft have to be swapped? The reason I am unsure is having stripped the cluth from the A+ (metro) engine the crankshaft has a clutch retainer bolt screwed into the crank. Also I am unsure if the cranks are interchangeable as they may have different bearing and journal size.. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
