Not bad for mid-80's Italian.

I'm sure one or two on here have a taste for them, and a rebuilt box can't that pricey for a straight swap.


I wonder, is it worth castration? It appears to be fairly local to me.

In news: snipped-for-privacy@news.individual.net, NeedforSwede2 decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows

Ho yuss..

I take it it's the X/19?

If so, go for it, it's cheap, fun, and they really do handle well..

Oh, and the Uno Turbo Exploding Engine is a bolt in job.

It's not much more work to stick any of the Lampredi lumps in there either.

The Alfa V6 takes a bit more work, but has been done.

Problem is, if you're gonna put one of those in, you might as well put the Strada 130TC lump in, and there ain't many of .... oh,... angonamo... I know where there's one of those for sale...... probably cheap....

Carl, I think you *need* an X/19...

Mmmm, 24v of gooooooodnessss...

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a Coupe Turbo engine, but Strada TC would work, as would an HF Turbo lump.

Heh.

I think it was a 12v, Cloverleaf spec.

It would be so tempting, I have always liked them. But it is Orange, and I would have to sell the Saab which I'm loving.

Cool, if it was a bit nearer I'd go have a look
