here is the engine number in my kit car 82326402 828881AO  what denotes the engine size or is there another set of numbers i have missed ???

Those are not the engine numbers. The number should be stamped near the oil pump housing, unless the block is from some other Fiat so the number could be elsewhere stamped into the side. 131c4xxxxxxxxx is the usual designation for a 2l in Oz.

those numbers are stamped under the inlet manifold

found the numbers it says 125 BC ???

It's a 1608cc Twin Cam then.

i have to agree, so the parts that i have purchased for the 2.0l are no good for my engine there for i will put them up for sale ;D

Read Tas 131 post again!!
Its not the cast numbers under the intake!! It's the stamped number!!

i found the stamp number by the oil filter reading 125bc000 heres another query i have the distributor is on all pics ive seen next to the intake manifold however on mine its next to the exhaust outlet manifold, completely opposite  ???

The number you have found near the oil filter housing is the right one and confirm it as a 1608cc, so you are correct, the 2 litre parts are (in general) no good for this engine.

Exhaust cam driven dizzies are not particularly unusual. Probably means that your engine came out of a 124 Sport rather than a 125 saloon, as some 124 Sports (particularly 1608 engines) were fitted with twin carbs which meant that access to the block mounted dizzy, below the inlet manifold, was extremely limited, so Fiat moved it.

i spoke to they guy who re built the engine an fitted it, an he said all the parts he fitted was for the 2.0L HEAD GASKET SET, an he said something about the feul pump cam shaft on the side of the engine which is 2.0L only even the timing belt he bought was for a 2.0L now im confused ::)

125BC000, 125BC040..........1608 (80 x 80)......110.............- Coupe/Spider, replcd by 1592cc

Don't you have any pics of the numbers and of the engine?
The first numbers you mentioned 828xx I have seen on Lancia Tc engines.. Perhaps just a coincidence..

Alf

It is stamped Lancia on the block beneath the twin carbs with the number as i 1st stated 828  an last 3 digits is 1A0

heres my engine

Post a photo of the numbers. Lancia is not likely to be stamped into the block, it's usually a raised casting. The exhaust cam mounted dizzie and twin IDFs are most likely from a 124BC coupe, which were 1608. What are the numbers cast into the head, near the spark plugs?

You are correct it is a raised casting Lancia, il go check numbers on head ;)

cylinder head numbers are FF V9 ( S62) 4372281

The head is from a 2l Lancia Beta.

It still doesn't ID the block, but with Lancia cast in to it the odds are pointing that way.

now im seriously confused its marked as a 1608 cc fiat 125bc000 however the head is a lancia beta 2L ??? IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE ???

I'll have a look next time I go to my shed, have two Lancia 2l engines what numbers they  have !
Cheers

Was this issue resolved? Vieri has a good list here.

Just had my engine on dyno it peaked at 121 bhp not bad for an engine built in the 80s
