So here's my problem,
i just bought myself a little fiat cinquecento sporting for 250 pounds off gumtree, taxed and mot'd for a few months, what bargain i thought, untill i drove it home.
after 20 miles on the motorway taking it easy, she overheated and died on me due to a hole in the rad, luckly i had someone following me on hand just incase this happened.
so i towed it home, and upon closer inspection i found that the head gasket had gone, and the head was more than likely warped.
as im really keen to get her back on the road, after just paying 300 pound deposit on my insurance, i quickly set about removing the engine and gear box before it got dark, as i have a spare punto 1242 8v engine from an automatic i broke last year.
what im after is someone tell me if i will be able to bolt the flywheel, clutch and gearbox off the toasted 1.1 engine straight onto the 1242 punto engine, as they are both fire engines, and bolt the lot back in to the existing loom and ecu in the cinq?
they're both 8v fire engines and look near on the same, so should think everything will bolt straight on????
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
