Re: abarth 130 tc engine
Hello Stephanspider2000,
I'm no Motorhead by any means, but besides probably having to make custom motor mounts, changing trannys, driveshafts, shifter modifications, and exhaust changes, I'd think it'd be a monster of a job. Theres just a lot involved, and I've seen very few who have attemped it, complete it. But good luck, and let us know if you try.

Re: abarth 130 tc engine
I would like to do same conversion 
but my situation is little bit more complicated, because I have 124 BS1 (1608) Spider and 2l block is 17mm taller - this is the reason why Spider 2000 have bigger bumps on the bonnet. If you have Spider 2000, I think you can directly swap engines without any modification.
