have you checked on fiat forum?

[alfa-red]

nope, was thinking, with people doing conversions etc, where they sourced them from?

my little car has been sat on the driveway for about 6 months now. its got a knackered head and shot piston rings and the cost of repair would out weigh the cost of a 2nd hand engine.

Fiat forum i have not tried yet, tried most other places though

it's worth popping it in the want ads on forums as sometimes peeps just have them laying around as well.

have you tried this site alfa http://www.gumtree.com/  its a site that sells anything second hand like ebay but no bidding when you go on it you will have to click on the link for your area cos I dont know where you live so I cant link it to your area give it a try anyway mate

So what exactly are you looking for a head and some bit to rebuild or a complete engine sporting engines are hard to come by  but isnt the MK 2 16 valver simular..?

[alfa-red]

full engine really. wouldnt be able to repair myself, if i was more flexible maybe, got the knowhow, just not the energy

similar but uses seperate coils rather than coil packs, and is a fly be wire throttle, but presume it would just be a case of swapping the ecu and throttle body accross, as other than that i think they are the same. lower power output though

i hope anyway, as there are a few mk2 engines knocking about.

cheers olgit, ill have a looksee
