Hi

I can get hold of a 1600 cc 124 engine (82 Kw / 137 Nm) with 5 speed gearbox for a restoration project.

The engine and gearbox is still in very good condition, and I have been told that spare parts for these engines are still available locally (South Africa).

I would also like to know whether parts for these engines and gearboxes are still freely available from Europe or elsewhere ?

Also, as far as I know these engines have been copied by Lada in Russia (Riva ?), and I would also like to know whether Lada (Riva ?) parts would fit on the original 124 engines ?

All comments will be highly appreciated.

the engine in lada`s is a earliar fiat design,there is the `fiat club of south africa`, based in Joannsberg, Ian huntley is the chairman,

lada angine has nothing to do with 124 twincam you got.
parts for it are mostly available
