Fiat X1/9 engine search

In reply to pizzaman1:

Contact JThw8, and ask him where the engines for the Yugo from Hell went.

I sold about 5 complete engines to him with the car. At least 2 of them were good 1.5L from X1/9's.

Yugo and Fiat 128 engines are essentially the same, with some differences. The X transaxle case is specific to the X, so be careful there.

Seek out carpart.com, the xWeb Forums and MiraFiori.com for parts cars and parts.

There's been a few Yugo/Fiat owners here that might have some parts or know of someone else who does. Hopefully they'll chime in.

I have a complete 1300 Lampredi in my garage here in Vancouver, WA, that is taking up valuable space. It was running when I pulled it out of my '74 128 (swapped in a fuel injected 1500). Probably not worth shipping to Ohio, though.

Are you looking for a 1300 or 1500? Carb'd or injected?

XWeb will probably be your best bet.

pretty sure there is one for sale on xweb in Ontario for less than $500. That'd be a drive but close enough to go there and back in a day.

I already sold the block I had.

How do I contact thie guy with the Yugos?

I'm another guy in Washington that can probably scare up a motor for you, if you're interested in freight shipping...are you on the Xweb forums? That place is probably your best bet for finding a motor close to you. I know there are a bunch of exxies in the Ohio area.

You're in Ohio? Contact, I think their name is Midwest something or other. Based in Columbus, they have all SORTS of Fiat and X/19 stuff. I visited their complex a while back and they had five or six X1/9s on a huge trailer and a few K-series swaps inside, along with restored cars and more new old stock Fiat parts than you could shake a stick at.

Midwest Bayliss is the place in Columbus.

Thanks chandler , I spoke to Matt at Midwest last week , I'm sure he'll become my next best friend for the next couple of years and will have my CC on file , lol . I found a 1.5 30 minutes from me in Ohio , I'll pick it up this weekend .

Just wait and I magically appear. Unfortunately car and parts are long since gone, and guy I sold them to has sold them on as well so I dont know if I could track them down. I'll put out a few feelers though. Its all probably still in NJ somewhere.

I have a 1.5l in Longview TX 78660. And a 76 x/19 with the 1.3l headers and lots of other parts.
