I was going to do it right and build it myself. I wanted the experience and I had even bought the project 126A1 engine to start with. But then I received a message- an engine I had looked at 3 months prior was price lowered. And then I haggled it even lower still, to where it would cost several hundred euros less to buy this than build my own. Ladies and gentleman, I present my new engine. Im still learning about the build. The seller seems to have acquired it from the passing of the enthusiast, who left him a pristine 500L with the same engine plus this second identical engine. The only info I have so far is that it uses a Dellorto DHLA 40 carb into a Panda head feeding 700cc with 32/34 valves and 45/75 cam. He ran it for me (sitting in the garage connected to batt, coil, and fuel). It started immediately. After a brief warm up, he revved it *in a spirited fashion* and it was absolutely BRUTAL. The idle after was deep and powerful sounding. I will be swapping it in Monday with help from friends. My car has the 126 synchro gearbox and the stronger axles already, along with sport suspension and electronic ignition which will be transferred to the new engine. I will provide pics of the process.
