strada 130 engine

[gerafiori]

has anyone ever put a 130 abarth engine from a strada into a 131 sport,
i have sourced an engine as above with 175 brake {high comp pistons +
highlift cams} should make my 131 move a bit quicker.

Hi Gerry there is a very good thread on Guy Crofts forum also i think Steve who lives in spain has done the exact thing, there seems to be a slight modification of the gearbox shaft ie grind a few mill  and round off the end plus a bearing is needed to support the shaft, i am in the process of putting a 8v integrale engine in and its the same for that. regards barry

You can leave the sump on as well as the oil filter housing.

 what hsepower in that engine that you have?

[Tristan]

fast road cams , twin dellortos , ported and polished without biggish valves , I'd say about 135-140 bhp.

are they horizontal or vertical carbs on that engine 

[Tristan]

Sidedraught , not like the Abarth .

 tristan i would say that gerry would be looking for something with about 300 horses galloping underneath it  why not put the 130 engine into the x19 put a bit of weight in the front and stiffen up the suspension
