2L Fiat Niva - Suggestions

[Scottl]

Thanks Guy,

Those pictures are exactly what I needed, Great pics at that.

Your rods and pistons would be on the rebuild sheet along with everything else you think should be installed, I would need to be able to sit at high revs.

Could you please email or PM a price of everything. Budget for this project has been blown out the window, other projects are on hold as this is now my main concern, I think we'll build a solid block with forged pistons, GC rods, race valves etc. Then If the hunger for more arises, The volumex unit will be sourced.

I don't quiet understand the thermostat convertor? Are you saying If I have well enough cooling this will not be a problem and the heater will not need to be on? As for cooling will be using 2 10" Fans used for normal operation, the second will activate at a certain temp. 2 Bonnet louvers will be used along with a snorkel. How does this setup sound to you Guy?

As for the Alternator, is there anyway of relocating this higher in the engine bay? Deep water crossings will be crossed and need it out of harms way..
