This the the heart for my latest rebuild,

Can you guess what its for, (not locost)
A bit conventional but its got a bit of style.
The angle of the inlet manifold will give it away to the hardcore fans..

no idea i'll guess its a fiat engine
just to add i've not been following your work lol

imp?

Don't think it's a Fiat twink - there would be a water inlet between the can pulleys.

Definitely not an imp, it's a twin cam.

Not an Alfa twink, that's 100% upright and the one in the pic looks like a slant 4.

Let's have another look

something that's canted over quite a bit.

lotus twink?
tom

a quick bit of googling shows the lotus engine goes the other way and a hell of a lot more........makes me wonder why i didn't check before i posted?

Lotus 907 leans over the other way - as does the Triumph Dolly sprint and that's a chain driven 16 valve with a single cam so it's none of those either.

It's not a Toyota 2TG either.

Right, here we go.

It is a Fiat twin cam and it originally resided in a Strada 105TC or Abarth 130, because it's an 8 valver with a dizzy and also has the fixed driveshaft on the O/S to minimise torque steer.


Or something similar.....

Zilspeed is close but no cigar.

This is standard engine with no modifications (apart from the twin 45s) and came straight out of the car its going back into>

Ill give you a few more guesses

Beta Coupe in that case or possibly a Monte Carlo ?

I know, it's my wifes hair dryer!!

you must be married to a gibbon if she needs a hair dryer that powerful

From a 124 or similar?

Zilspeed came the closest.

Lancia Beta Spyder.

Very similar to the Fiat but the head is a bit different and produces slightly more power in standard form.

Should produce around 150bhp with the 45s, only weighs about 1000kg so should be fun.

That's what I like to see, an optimist.

You live in North East Scotland, and you've just bought a 20 year old Italian Convertible!

Good luck!

Cheers

"just bought" I've had it almost 10 years and its still in a thousand bits.

Bring on global warming!!!!

LMAO - nice quote Guiness

I recognised it! I had a Beta (Coupe) but ended up running over my own engine when the engine mounts let go due to tin worm! (Whole subframe dropped!)
