Engine Transplant?
« on: June 09, 2016, 09:13:48 PM »
Hi, I have acquired a rolling shell and was thinking of putting  in an abarth engine/box from a 2011 car.
Has anyone done this or has any tips or advice.
Thanks
Jon.

Nobody's done it and made it road legal.

Im putting in a nissan 1.2L twin turbo in mine that will be 100% street legal. I first looked at putting in the 4efte from a starlet GT but you need to spin the axles to the other side of the gearbox if you want the motor to sit in the engine bay. This can be done but gearbox mods along with chopping up so much of the car didn't appeal to me.
If you lose the back seat you can mount it in but you need to basically tube frame the car.
Anything can be done if you have the time and the money.

Good luck with it. I hope you figure something out.

Here is mine if you:
