Hi
Ive got a 94 punto 55s which is needing a replacement engine since the current one has a fault at the lower crank area. Now so far ive been having dificaulty in locating another Punto with the 1.1 engine in it from within the Fife and Tayside area.
Does anyone know of any good sources for engines that arnt too expencive?
Also I have seen Seicento 1.1 sportings or SX's available which I understand to be the same engine. would it be posible to fit the engine from the Seicento without any modifications being needed?
thanks in advance for any help or info
Regards
Andrew
 
You could fit the punto 60 1242cc engine, should go straight in and give a bit more poke too, several cinq and sei owners have done this.

is the 1.2 an easy swap? would it require anything else to be put into the punto such as ecu, injection unit and so on ?

regards

No don't think so, we (being cinq and sei owners) have to change a few sensors and make up a 10mm spacer between the exhaust manifold and downpipe as it hits the sump, the 1242 is 10mm taller.
You should be ok but check with someone on a punto forum just to be sure
