Awesome cars in here!! Hi, I'm looking for an alternative engine for a fiat 600. It's been 25 years since I fully restored my first goat 500 In oz, and Im doing one in Sri Lanka now but need a reliable engine. Or are there modifications that can be made to the existing engine to improve reliability. Please help. Thanks
Many thanks for your time an response, much appreciated. My mechanic in Sri Lanka has just proposed to fit a Honda Acty (mini truck) engine along with drivetrain, radiator, etc. I suppose im still leaning towards maintaining the original engine. I'm assuming the 600 doesn't have synchromesh? Are there any basic modifications to the original engine that can be done to improve reliability?
Thanks again
On another note, where is the best place to get fiat 600 parts from? If have to bring them into Sri Lanka.
