Hi there!

Is there any drawings , pictures or written material, which could help to get better idea of that car.

I have found only a few photos of the car in alitalia colors. I think that car took part in Quebec rally in 1978, unfortunatly without much success.

No, like Guy said, tthis 127 1050 engine is not the same as an A112 1050 engine. The 127 1050 is similar to Fiat 128 style (single overhead cam). The A112 1050 is like the Fiat 850 engine (overhead valves/pushrod type).

I believe the 1050 pushrod motor was only sold in the Autobianchi A112 70HP. I think there were a bit over 100,000 made.

I some country also in other models like Spain had the 70 HP in 127 abarth

Hi!

I have a 127 mk 1, and I want to upgrade it a litle to use in regularity rallies here in Portugal.

Since I can't spend too much money I' m thinking to swap the engine.

Do anyone knows if the 1.1 (from the 128) or even the 1.3 plus the 5 speed gearbox from a Lancia Delta is a bolt on swap?
And if it isn't, is it a dificult task?

Kind regards

Fit it complete with gearbox and with some heavy nights it will be possible

carlosvaz75 · May 20, 2007, 07:17:13 PM

Thanks.

This is good news... Whit the 1.3 from a Lancia Delta I will have more than 70 hp stock and a bit more whith some tweeks... and I also like the ability to meke rpm from theese engines...
Do you know any of thesse conversions?

Kind regards

Gentlemen,
I raced in 1979 with a 127 group 2 which had been used in the french "rallycross" championship .
It was a very amazing car, very easy to drive .
I entered a rally in La Rochelle and we were 3rd of the class 1300cc of the group 2 ( together with a lot of Simca 1000 Rally 2 ) .
I recovered a photo, I try to enclose
Best regards
