Technical cinquecento engine
I am assuming yours is an 899
Yes it would fit, you would need an SPI seicento though because it would be easier to change in this car
But its probably easier to buy a 1.1 cinq or seicento

If 899, you need the gearbox, drivestafts, etc. too............. I think there's something in the HOWTO/FAQs.
That's in the FAQs, too.
Later Seicentos had an engine with 4 injectors, different engine management, etc.
hia, iv got a little fiat cinquecento and very sadly my engine has gone pop
Would you care to define 'pop'?
According to my dictionary 'pop' is a type of muzak popular with young people.

No, I thought that was called 'sh!te'
If my engine had gone pop, I would consider finding out what went wrong, then repairing it.
Rather than put a 1.1 engine in, I would consider selling the car and buying a sporting. Much less hassle.
and cheaper insurance!! something people seem to forget about.
You can have either a 899 with engine transplant, or a standard car. i know which i'd prefer to insure
Yes you can get an engine for next to nothing but you can get a cinq sporting for next to nothing as well.
As rallycinq says, do you know whats wrong with your engine? not alot thats unfixable on these unless you been driving it without oil or water in it lol. I'd hazzard a guess (without know whats wrong with it) that it will be cheaper in long run to fix, sell and buy sporting

If you are not confident in refurbing a bottom end, and I'd suggest a regrind crank will be necessary, you can save/borrow for recon short engine or have a local eng shop refurb your engine. It is cheaper if you give them a clean bottom end.
Other wise sell car for parts, and save borrow money for next car...
