Type 9 to FIAT Twin Cam Adaptor Plates
TC21 - 30/10/12 at 12:25 PM

I have seen a posting on this site regarding an adaptor plate for the Ford Type 9 to FIAT Twin Cam (made by Guy Croft). Guy has no foreseable plans to make any more and I want one.... Anyone out there got one to sell or know of an alternative supplier please?

Just fit a Zetec, bolts strait to type 9 and is far easier to tune.

Buy I already have a Twin Cam and carbs so an adaptor plate a lot cheaper

The price a Zetec can be picked up for it may still be the cheaper option! But it's about what you want to do!
Morgan used the Fiat twin cam for a bit, did they use the Fiat box too or a Ford one?
A Fiat box wouldn't be so easy to find but another option?

The cars will fite either if they are Weber/Delorto's, just need jetting and a manifold. Bet you can but a Zetec cheaper than an adapter plate, my first one cost £150 and was in great shape.

But a Zetec isn't a Lancia/Fiat twin cam!! Admittedly, the Zetec is a better solution and I have a car with a a Fiat Twink that will be losing the engine in favour of a Zetec (or similar) but that shouldn't stop folks from fitting one!

IF Guy (or someone who has one) would give you the pattern then you could get one cut.
Otherwise, if you have engine and gearbox perhaps you could trace a pattern yourself, and suss out the plate thickness.

I'd just be patient and keep an eye on ebay there's bound to be one come up sooner or later ( Fiat 5spd box that is )
