Spaghetti Western - Fiat 128 - Engine Bay Relationships

Witness what happens after I cram this into that. Hold my beer but don't tell my wife...

Big fan of engine swaps but when you have to start cutting firewalls & frame rails might as well go big. May I suggest a LS with a C5 rear mounts transaxle? A LS fixes everything.

I don't know, I have an LS in my truck and every time I hand it a wrench it drops it immediately! But point taken, I may instead heat the headers mounted on a fixture and tweak them downwards more to see if I can fit the exhaust betwixt the rack and the axle! Thanks for the comment!

The fiat 128 is a transverse FWD. An LS would barely fit in the passenger compartment of a 128.

@@dangerous119 Indeed it IS a tiny engine bay but the commenter was making a joke as he has a 128 also. Thanks for the comment!

@@rivenmotors7981 ah, I see. Well in that case, a good joke indeed. I'm a fan of LS engines too. If I may, i'd like to join your group. I think your engine swap idea is interesting and look forward to following your progress. I have a few 128 projects as well.

@@dangerous119 Awesome! Glad to have you around. Please feel free to criticize and comment if the mood strikes you. I'm just a nut with ideas.
