Fiat twin cam engine & box £200

For sale is a 1600 (1585cc) Fiat twin cam engine and 5 speed gear box good for 100 hp in standard tune. Fairly light and compact it’s a favourite for morris minors, anglias and mk1 cortinas. This engine was pulled out of a low mileage fiat 131 that had been parked up after failing its MOT for rot when it was about 4 or 5 years old. Then suddenly a couple of decades had passed and the car had dissolved but the engine had oil down the bores and turned freely with good compression so was removed and carefully stored for a kit car project. The kit car never happened and I knew the history of the engine so pestered to buy it as a spare. I have now decided that my next project will be getting a zetec so this is now for sale.

The ancillaries have been stripped off the engine but are all there and complete. The only thing I can see missing is the original plastic cam belt cover. There is an almost complete engine gasket set which I will through in with the engine so you can open it up and check everything over prior to fitting. In addition to the engine and box there is a complete but rusty cylinder head which may yield some spares and I have a prop shaft too but it will need refurbished.

I also have a set of twin 40 dcoe carbs on a Guy Croft manifold complete with fuel regulator and filters which are available separately from the engine.

I’m looking for £200 for the engine and box. I'm in Paisley near Glasgow.
