BMC B-Series engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The BMC B-Series was a straight-4 automobile engine family created as a larger alternative to the company's A-Series. B-Series 1500 engine in a Nash Metropolitan Series 3 A special Twin-Cam ( DOHC) version of the 1.5 L B-Series engine was produced for the MGA. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BMC_B-Series_engine

The Oxford Series VI of 1961 was a further developed version of the Oxford Series V. All other B-Series 'Farinas' were closely related.

BMC A-Series engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 1.3 L (1275 cc) engine was turbocharged, producing the highest-output A-Series variant at 96 hp (72 kW) in the 1989 Mini ERA Turbo. The original A-Series engine displaced just 803 cc and was used in the A30 and Morris Minor. That company quickly began modifying the A-Series, and it became the basis for many of the following Nissan engines. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BMC_A-Series_engine

Sports Car Market > Profiles > 1994 > May > English BMC has uprated the range of engines currently available to the "A Plus" series that are generally interchangeable with early units. As 1100 cc was the limit for the small bore/long stroke A-series engine, a little shifting of the bore centers in a taller, stronger block was necessary to allow a bigger bore that could be packaged with a different stroke to produce the new Cooper S engines. The engine capacity was increased from 850 to 997 by utlizing a longer stroke, the compression was increased, and a new camshaft, twin SU carbs, and a three-into-one cast exhaust header were fitted. www.sportscarmarket.com /profiles/1994/May/English

Riley. Who is Riley? What is Riley? Where is Riley? Definition of Riley. Meaning of Riley. In fact, with their 848cc engines producing the same 34bhp output as the Austin and Morris versions, the performance of these upmarket varieties was actually blunted by the weight of the extra bodywork and equipment. The 6- and 8-cylinder engines were axed, and two creditable new model ranges were rushed out in saloon and tourer forms: the 12hp, which used the 1½-litre 4-cylinder engine; and the 16hp, powered by the so-called "Big Four" 2½-litre unit. BMC would persevere with variations on the "Magnificent Motoring" slogan well into the 1960s, but this was now little more than a forlorn hope. www.knowledgerush.com /kr/encyclopedia/Riley

BMC C-Series engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Austin C-Series engine in an Austin-Healey 3000 Mark II The BMC C-Series was a straight-6 automobile engine produced from 1956 through 1967. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BMC_C-Series_engine

Austin A90 Westminster Engine and transmission: BMC C-Series engine, 6-cylinder, ohv, in-line. The engine, of course, was all new, for this was the first mass-production application of the Morris-designed BMC C-Series six-cylinder unit. Such were the illogical ways of the young BMC organization that the A90 Westminster was also a direct competitor for the soon-to-be-announced Morris Isis, with which it shared the engine, gearbox and final-drive assemblies! www.co-oc.org /A90.html

CARSguide - The B all and end all [04jun04] The engine was a BMC B-series four-cylinder of 1.8 litres capacity. A smoother engine, with five main bearings instead of three, was launched in 1965, and an electrically operated overdrive gearbox followed in 1968. The B put out 71kW of power at 5500 revs and 145Nm of torque at 3500 revs, enough to push the 920kg roadster to 97km/h in 11.3 seconds and through the standing 400m sprint in 18.2 seconds. carsguide.news.com.au /news/printpage/0,8297,9733669^27286,00.html

A to Z of classic cars 1970s classic british vehicles motorcars austin ford humber morris vauxhall The engine was a tuned BMC C-series 2.6litre 'six', used in the Wolsley and also the large Morris and MG saloons of the time. Series 3's are also the only finned Alpines to have the triangular shaped windows on the leading edge of the doors. Other additions to the Series II were a smaller diameter steering wheel, wider rear springs, redesigned top storage doors, and the addition of "cant-rails" to stiffen the edge of the convertible top around the side windows. www.british-classic-cars.com /qbcc.htm

Austin 1800 Utility BMC at that time did not build a pretty car but they had ideas far exceeding what was built by the others. Austin (BMC) Decided in the 1960's to produce a Utility for the Australian market, to be in competition with the larger utilitys manufacturers, Ford, GMH, Chrysler. The Engines were bench run 1/2 hour each before being placed in the car ready for shipping. www.ozhotvolvo.com /lc_main.htm

SUPERCARS.NET - 1955 MG A So when the TF replacement was drawn up, it was powered by the BMC 1498cc B-series engine housed in a new modern chassis and structurally rigid body. BMC gave the green light for the new MGA in 1955. Fortunately, the production MGA became BMC's biggest success story, as more than 100,000 MGAs were made until 1962. www.supercars.net /VC2?id=1314

SUPERCARS.NET - 1962 MG B Coune Coupe BMC, the then umbrella company of Austin-Vanden Plas, Morris, MG, Wolseley, Riley and Austin Healy, planned the MGB to be an affordable car which would appeal to the export market. Since BMC was keen to meet customer demands, the MGB remained in progressive development throughout production and a removable hardtop was one of their first considerations. BMC internally designed their own coupe which was refined by Pininfarina. www.supercars.net /VC2?id=2949

Enjoying MG - March 1998 - MGA 1600 MkII BMC B series engine in improved form for the MGA MK II. Under the bonnet the engine was increased in size by 34cc in cylinder capacity taking it from 1588 to 1622 c.c. To match the increased output from the engine, the final drive gearing was increased from 4.3 to 4.1 to 1. www.mgbbs.com /mgoc/emg/mga1600.htm

Engines: B-series This engine was also used in the Morris Oxford series II and the MG ZA Magnette, although the MG was treated to a twin-carburettor set-up, which boosted power to 60bhp at 4600rpm. By the time of BMC's formation in 1952, this was still very much the engine situation, and it meant that the company had a choice between the Austin A40 engine and the 1477cc Morris unit. The result was the O-Series; an engine that started out as being related to the B-Series, but became more of a case of the Irish hammer - two new handles, three new heads, but the same hammer! www.austin-rover.co.uk /enginebseriesf.htm

Engines: O-series The B-Series engine's troubles lay its inability to pass the upcoming US emission laws, proposed for 1975, and given that the MGB was sold in such huge numbers over there, it was essential for BLMC to develop a "clean" engine. In the case of the B-Series, it was not as if it were a bad engine; in fact, in twin carburettor form it proved more than adequate of propelling the Morris Marina and MGB with some degree of verve. After all, the A- and B-Series engines were both well over ten years old, by this time and yet, were proving difficult to replace. www.austin-rover.co.uk /engineoseriesf.htm

Morris Minor Technical Articles It can be argued that the Series II Minor fitted with the A-series engine still lacked power, particularly for the export markets, and was fitted with a gear box with poor ratios between the gears and of dubious quality. But it was first released with an old fashioned under-powered side valve engine and then saddled with the feeble and fragile A-series unit from the Austin A30 with its terrible gear ratios. The Austin engineers modified the GM engine by shifting the camshaft from the left hand to the right hand side of the engine, and designing the plugs and distributor to be on the opposite side to the manifolds. home.vicnet.net.au /~mmccv/Tech-engine/technical.html

Birth of the A-series The A40 engine had been such a success that it was decided to employ the same stroke/bore ratio of 13: 1, using a stroke of 76 mm and a bore of 58 mm. As with the earlier ohv Austin engines, the camshaft and pushrods were on the same side of the engine as the inlet and exhaust ports. Over the next month or two, other engines were completed and, like the first, they were subjected to endurance runs of 100 hours to test the crankshaft bearings as well as the valve gear and all the ancillaries. www.geocities.com /tb13cp/miniinfo/birthaseries.html

ENGINE - 1098, Initial Tuning - Mini Cooper Information from Mini Mania When the Mini was first conceived it ustilised a de-stroked version of the then quite remarkable 948cc A-series engine. The 1098 (1100) engine has had a lot of bad press over the years - largely because of early experiences when trying to tune the motor brought about problems with the then standard components available - they simply were not up to taking any real punishment as experienced in racing. Since this engine will be seeing duty as daily transport and weekend warrior at Harewood hill-climb sometime after the test, I wanted to make sure the pistons were going to live a long and healthy life. new.minimania.com /nmm/ENGINE___1098__Initial_Tuning__1128.htm

BMC ADO16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mark II versions of the Austin and Morris models were announced, with the larger engine making it into these two makes' ranges in October 1967 (as the Austin 1300 and Morris 1300). The Austin America was sold in the US, Canada and Switzerland between 1968 and 1972 and featured a 60 bhp 1275 cm³ engine. Mark II In 1967, a 1275 cc option was available on MG, Riley, Vanden Plas and Wolseley models. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Morris_1100

MGB development story The engine chosen for the MGC was the BMC C-series, as found in the Austin 3-litre (more of which in chapter four). The problems were deep-rooted, as the company had no 'clean' four-pot engine to use in the MGB - a laughable situation when one considers that BMC had as much notice of these impending laws as any other car company. Obviously, throughout the Sixties, BMC had been concentrating on expanding its capacity and becoming a world leader in the car producing stakes, but the MGB was a massive export success for them, and to take their eye off the ball in their biggest market was a criminal mistake. dspace.dial.pipex.com /town/way/yuw18/austin-rover/mgbf.htm

BN5 C-Series engine was fitted, while overdrive was not available. Westminster type of engine, which only had about 90bhp, can be imagined. BMC, therefore, not Healey, dabbled with the idea of producing a cheapened version of the members.aol.com /bgahc/BN5.html

Engines: C-series The C-Series engine was the shortest lived out of the triumvirate of BMC engines, and has since gained infamy for being the motive power behind of the MGC and Austin 3-Litre. The C-Series engine first made an appearance in 1954 in the Austin A90 Westminster, and unlike the A and B-Series units, it was designed at the Morris engines drawing office in Coventry. This was the first BMC engine to produce in excess of 100bhp, when it was announced in the Austin-Healey 100/6 type BN4 in 1956. www.austin-rover.co.uk /enginecseriesf.htm

Austin Healey 4000 The old C-series engine was nearing the end of production and US safety and emissions regulations were looming and would apparently not be met by the 3000 as it stood-in particular proposed regulations stipulating a minimum width between the steering wheel and the door. Soaking up this excess capacity by putting the engine in the Austin-Healey was sure to appeal to BMC bosses acutely embarrassed by their failure to honour the engine supply deal they'd signed with Rolls-Royce. Contrary to some stories the power limit tagged FB 60, was not a military engine although it derived from the B40/B60/B80 family of Rolls-Royce military power units used in applications such as the Austin Champ (B40), Humber 4x4 (B60) and Saracen and Saladin armoured vehicles (B80). www.ewilkins.com /wilko/ah4000.htm

Wolseley Cars The new 4/44 was the last to use the 1250cc XP Nuffield Engine (as in the MG TD) This was a result of the April 1952 merger of Morris and rivals Austin into the British Motor Corporation and the rationalisation on the use of the Austin engines for all new BMC production. This 6 cylinder engine spawned 4,6 and 8 cylinder variants, and the was the basis of the later OHC MG engines. The 10hp, Series III, and one new model - the Wolseley 8 which was an upmarket version of the Morris Series E. The Wolseley 8 ushered in the final loss of Wolseley's autonomy, where new Wolseleys were to be modern Nuffield body designs with traditional Wolseley front ends and trim. www.ukcar.com /history/Wolseley

Wolseley 6/90 The Series II 6/90, introduced in 1956, had a restyled facia, modifications to the rear suspension and was now equipped with a floor mounted gear change on the right hand side of the driver’s seat. The 6/90 Series III was replaced by the Farina styled 6/99 in 1959. Styled by Gerald Palmer, the Wolseley 6/90 was introduced in 1954 as a replacement for the 6/80. www.users.bigpond.com /jimjarron/wolseley_690.html

Austin 3-litre development story BMC’s offerings in the class were the C-Series engined Austin A110 Westminster, the Wolseley 6/99 and the Vanden Plas 3-litre. When BMC were in the early stages of the planning for the new car, the decision was made to use the entire centre section of the yet-to-be-launched ADO17, but with unique and elongated front and rear ends, styled by Farina with help from. By the early sixties, the BMC design department was becoming increasingly dictated to by the accountants of the company and so, soon imposed their influence on the new car. www.austin-rover.co.uk /ado61storyf.htm

BMC C-Series - Motorbase BMC introduced its six cylinder C-Series engine in 1954. The C-Series engines also found their way into the "Big" Austin-Healey models and the A-H 3000 replacement, the MGC. The engine appeared in a variety of different cars and commercial vehicles including saloon models from Austin, Morris, Wolseley and later versions of the Riley Pathfinder (officially known as the Two-Point-Six). www.motorbase.com /engine/3
