Hi,
I just picked up my engine from Fat Performance today. 2.2, dual webers and just a little more cam than stock (he said). The dyno print out says 147hp@5500 rpm. I think that might be optomistic but thats what it says. I'll be away for about 2 weeks and can't wait to get it installed. I need to know if anyone has experience installing an engine with the carbs still on the engine. Can you leave the carbs on or do they have to come off before you lift the engine into the car? It looks like a really tight fit to me. I've only had experience removing and not installing the engine. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Elliot |

I agree, It only takes half an hour to remove the carbs and manifolds etc and its a lot easier to slide the engine under the car without fouling the driveshafts/C.V.
You have to get the rear wheels higher than a metre to fit it with carbs still attached.......that makes me kind of nervous. 147hp sounds like a nice amount of power, is that 66x103? |
