@rs200000000000 hey there, I've done this swap as well in my mini using an 89' MG metro engine. It has a HIF 44 carb. I rebuilt the gearbox and it has a full RC 40 exhaust system, LCB manifold & K&N filter. I use a BDL needle which seems to work very well.
IMO i wouldnt change the carb from a HIF 44 because it will not limit the power of any A series engine up to 100bhp easily. taking from experience as ive owned twin SU's before which performed worse than a single HIF 44.

not gona bother supercharging lol just asking for trouble just gona swap the 998 for a same engine as you have metro 1275 maybe better carbs ect all it needs really i mean yours seems pretty quick

i love videos like this they really show how quick standard minis are! ive got a 91 1275 a+ cooper mate and it goes exactly how yours does on this video. there so much fun and for what they are, really very quick.

@baggies5000 not really, stuck within the speed limit, no screachy wheels well within the cars capabilites and the road conditions.

@rs200000000000
anything is possible, but I wouldn't do it without a full rebuild first to make sure the bottom end can take the power
