I need help to start swap

[eslamafify]

Hi every one in this lovely  forum

i have  126 p 1991

i planed to swap the engine (may be with uno or punto .etc  ) bigger one than the 650 cc

but i need it with an automatic gearbox ( that's the point of the project)

i don't care about what engine i will use but to make the car legal i have to use a fiat engine

with any gearbox they don't care about the gearbox only the engine & to still in the back

i saw many of projects but not with automatic gearbox

a friend suggest me fiat uno engine with cvt gearbox but its not available  here in Egypt all uno's with manual gearbox so i was thinking about using a cvt Honda gearbox (but i don't know what model and what gearbox can fit with an uno or punto engine ) or any bigger engine

i am not very good with mechanics stuff

but real problem facing me now is the rotation of the engine if i put the engine side way the car will go back-word and if i rotate the engine i will not be able to connect the wheels with the gearbox because the gearbox will be facing the back of the car

i Guss in this case i have to rotate the gearbox but i cant do that with an automatic gearbox ( can I ? )

maybe with cvt gearbox ?

so i am stuck with this problem and cant start the project 

i hope i can find here any suggestion for solve this problem ( i am a beginner in this stuf this is my first project  )

i am dreaming now with just the start

i already had the car 3 month ago & really love this car here it is





so any help?

and i am sorry for my English i know its not that good

Not sure if this of any help to you, but isn't the engine rotation of some of the Hondas the opposite to most cars? Someone did a conversion once (not a 126) and ended up with 5 gears for reverse

The type of work that you intend to do requires a lot of mechanical knowledge.

If you use an engine that rotates anti-clockwise you will find that you do not have to rotate the gearbox, well that's the theory..
