Can anyone tell me which engines will fit into a 1500 X19 easily?
will the Punto, Bravo / Brava engines fit?

Do you mean the same type/ family of engines?

If so, then the following will:

Lancia Delta 1.5
Fiat Strada 1.5
Fiat Regatta 1.5
Fiat Tipo 1.6
Punto Sporting 1.6

The Uno Turbo engine will also fit. With a conversion kit you can then start fitting the Lancia twin cam engines from 1.6 - 2.0 litres.

Any engine can be made to fit, but unless it's one of the above then you'll be looking at custom mounts/ driveshafts/ gearbox plates, adaptors etc. etc. It all depends on how deep your pockets are and how much time and facilities you have...

way to revive a dead thread but hey ho.

You mention the Punto engine fits in the x19. Does it have to be a phase one punto? I can only find 1.25 sporting & not 1.6? i think 1.25 is a phase two.

The 1.6 engine is a derivative of the 1.3 and 1.5 engines originally fitted to the X1/9

The other petrol engines in the Punto (ignoring the 1.4 turbo which is again a derivative) are not straight swaps and belong to a separate family of engines (FIRE). As already mentioned they can be made to fit but it isn't just a case of bolting on the X1/9 engine mounts and after you've worked that out there is the matter of the gearbox as well...
