Title: Fiat 1800cc Twin cam engine for sale UK
Post by: Tayto.king on September 23, 2014, 11:56:10 AM
Engine came out of a series 1 UK 132 1800cc. Engine rotates freely and looks to be in good condition. Haven't heard it running but all looks good.
Getting rare now.

The guy who originally owned the engine was a mechanic and owned a 132 that rusted away so he saved this engine. He also had a 124 Sport and a USA spec 124 spider in which he was going to fit this 1800cc. The belt (Genuine Fiat)was loose because he was going to fit a new one and then install it in his 124 Spider, but he sadly passed away.
The engine was sold to his neighbour before being sold on to me. I actually went down to buy the 124 sport but didn't in the end and came away with a 1800cc twin cam engine instead. ;D
Engine has now gone to a really nice guy from the midlands who is fitting it in his Morris Minor 8)
