Her is the Q. I have an X/19 sitting outside rusting away. The more I look at it the more I think that the 1.5 cc engine gearbox and running gear will shoehorn into the space that houses a normal 650 aircooled. Has anyone tried it ??? Also got a great 4 pot Ansa exhaust with it, but have not had it running. :P

It has crossed my mind before. Would be interesting to know if anyone has ever tried it... :)

I know I'm a noob to the 126 world but surely if a V8 can be fitted into a 126 then a 4CYL can be put in. Well providing your handy with a cutting torch and at welding?

It only depends how much of your car you want to cut out :P
If you're thinking of fitting it longitudinaly and bolting it to the standard gearbox you will need to modify the rear bonnet (?) - the engine is too long to fit in standard engine bay. On the plus side, you will probably be able to do wheeles 8)

I was going to reply but I'm so tired at the mo I think I'm just gonna take a Kip zzzZZZZzzzzz

go for it ! when a corrado g60 or alfa romeo 1.7 can be fitted you surly make it

I was thinking a mk1 mr2 engine might be cool but it would take up lots of room and might be too wide. The other thing i was wondering about was one of those little capuccino engines which are 600and something cc but product a lot of power for their size. They are fwd though.

What about a Tatra V8? Air cooled, rear wheel drive...has anyone done that? Well the only thing is the size of the engine... :)

Mr2 is a fair bit wider than a standard 126 but the bolt pattern is 4x100 so you could retain fiat wheels with wobble bolts.. an easier solution mich be a smart car rear clip its not much wider than a 126 (about 3 inches)but you would need to adapt sone fiat wheels to the hus as they are 3 spoke....

ahh rwd!! thanks mali.
All of these things are beyond my skills anyway, but i think i can do the fire engine with the bits from trs. I suppose its not hugely different though. I can weld now so thats a start!
