Alternatively could anyone tell me if fiat twink is taller, wider or longer than mx5 motor.
I know the fiat bolts straight in, the sump on mx5 is in right place but struggling to find dimensions of fiat.
Thx Ian

Thx I thought of Guy Croft in first place, just trawled 31 pages and came up with nothing.
There was a post where he was asked weight of engine and he didn't know.
Someone gave the weight but no dimensions.
Only thing I've found is a 1.6 or 1.8 is less tall than a 2.0.
But it would be coz 2.0 is stroked!
Got a m8 with a Sunbeam rally car running Guy Croft tuned Fiat 2.0 it's just trying to catch him at home.
If only I had bodyshell handy to measure up.
Thx Ian

I know for a fact they can be fitted into Morris Minors (just), as I once owned one fitted with a 2-litre one. Quite a bit larger and heavier than the little A-series though! What are you attempting to fit it in?

What are you attempting to fit it in? Thx I was looking at a lada caged rolling shell which Fiat bolts straight in already has gearbox tunnel done but the price of engine tuning bits would be way dearer than mx5 engine and I've already got that. Minor is well documented good old school conversion. Weird that no one has mx5'ed a lada coz seen them in everything else. |

They're a lot shorter than a Mazda engine, MX5 should go in a Lada OK though they're not big, the Fiat is just teeny tiny.

Brilliant sounds good.
Shame the sellers got no paperwork for rolling shell.
Could end up with no logbook after a lot of work. Tho I could trailer it to Sprints or Hill Climbs.
Thx Ian

Yep was led to believe even the prop fits as well without shortening. |

I can measure a 2.0 tomorrow if you still want?
|

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Brilliant Tristan thanks, sounds a fair bit smaller than mx5 engine as already said.
I think I'll edit title to say Fiat twin cam dimensions vs mx5.
That would probably help other people with similar idea.
I'll add dimensions of mx5 engine too.

OK there is hardly anything in it.
Fiat 19" or 483mm long vs Mazda 18.75" or 480mm
Fiat 12" or 300mm wide across port faces
Mazda 10" or 254mm across port faces
Note Mazda with inlet and exhaust is 21" or 534mm.
Cam cover wider than port face's at 12" or 30cm.
Fiat height 24" or 610mm vs Mazda 21" or 533mm

I measured the width across the cam pulleys, the width between mani faces is a lot less

On the top end at least, the cam pulleys are the widest part. The port faces are a lot closer. It's part of what made the FIAT TC so good.

It is the part of the car that is one of the heaviest. For example, I am having an old Japanese car. It is a Toyota CROWN if you have heard about it. It has problems with the gearbox, so I decided to change it. I found one in Japan, but I didn't know how much will cost the transportation. First of all, I had to find out how much it is weighing, so luckily I found this information on cararac.com. I was wondered that I had to pay only one hundred dollars for its transportation. In my opinion, it is a minimal price for such a service. |
