The then BMC Technical Director Alec Issigonis re-engineered a 1500cc racing engine conceived by his predecessor Dr Joe Erlich to produce a 1000cc, twin cam, four valve per cylinder, pent headed, four cylinder, fuel injected engine. The engine had a dry sump, a 5 bearing crankshaft, chain or gear driven camshafts; a titanium flywheel with a metal sprayed bronze friction face and even magnesium pistons. Harry Munday did the detail design of the head and the expected power output was 140 bhp at 11000 rpm.
