Re: engine rebuild
I did a full rebuild on an 1800 motor, as part of my restoration http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic ... 17&t=14432. If I had it to do all over again, I would have started with a salvage 2.0 litre motor. If you can't find one in a local boneyard, rebuild-able ones are only a few hundred dollars. Money well spent. There's nothing for $300 you can spend on a 1608--1800 performance rebuild that will yield equivalent results on the street. Even a "seasoned" 2.0 with a decent exhaust and carb(s) is a real runner.
