I fitted a 650cc engine into ours, gasflowed all the ports, opened the inlet and fitted a larger carb off a 850 engine. The driveshafts on the 126 car are longer, so I had to split the diff and fit the 500 shafts. The car did max 85mph was fairly good at traffic light grandprix`s etc, was a pleasure to drive, used original Fiat 126 wheels with bigger tyres, harder shock absorbers etc.

Actually you can fit a 850cc engine in the Fiat 500! They used the same block till the 1st gen Panda. The last version of the 2 cylinder was stronger and had more power, while keeping the same dimensions.

Two friends back on the 80s/90s sold a wrecked 126 to a 500 owner for the engine/box swap. It has long been a sensible way to up the power a tiny bit. These are wonderful cars, but even with a 650 they are still city cars. A 2cv or Dyane feels like a lazy Detroit V8 on the open road on comparison to these.... I write as one who adores both Citroën and FIAT twins. The original 500 is a sublime machine, but only when in its natural habitat. 😊
