[Fiat 500 Subaru Swap]

The bottom of the intake does have a coolant passage, so you're going to have to work around that. Just a heads up.

 

 

I saw that. Could I block it off, or is necessary to flow between the heads?

Got a motor! Will post pics as project progresses. Probably going going to custom make a manifold using 40mm Dellorto side draft I have. Going to keep motor basically stock for reliability. It's going to fly in such a light car.

[Looking for an EA81....for Fiat 500 swap..]

Hi there from Miami Florida.

 

I just had an swap kit made in the UK for fitting a Subaru engine in my 1972 Fiat 500.

 

I plan on installing an EA81 for reliability and simplicity. Anyone have one for sale? Anyone have some suggestions on which engine year to buy?

 

Some pics of my cars are here:

I bought the adapter from:

Here is a new swap all done:

Is there a particular ea81 that is better than others? Been researching, and it's seems like it a is pretty interesting and bullet proof engine.

Any suggestions of where to look for an EA series engine? Which cars came equipped with them? Seems like I might have to buy an entire car and pull the engine.

I haven't updated it in a bit, and have some new toys.

 

Regarding engines, I am leaning towards an EA81 for simplicity and reliability. Seems like none are available for sale. Are they that rare?

Hello from Miami Florida. Researching EJ & EA engines for a swap in my 1972 Fiat 500. I've managed to blow 3 Fiat engines, so looking for some more reliability from the Subaru.
