Fiat 131 engine swap

Post by Denver »

Hello everybody ! I have finished my 131 supermirafiori with tehnical inspection for road use. I have used a 1.4 sohc for financial reasons, and now i am looking to buy and fit a 2.0 16v turbo or naturaly aspired , and as we all know they are only transverse mounted , what would this swap mean as far as modifications ? The 131 body is different from other Fiat`s as i saw 124 turbo and others with such conversions , i know the oil pan will require modifications but i don`t know other factors , can you help me please ?
I saw a 1.8 turbo from Alfa 75 as well and the starter motor is on the other side , don`t know how the flywheel will fit ... any ideas on this conversion as well would be much apreciated.
P. Alex .
