A topic I made from a while on another forum
Hey guys :) , I found this interesting topic while browsing Fiat Forum. The poster is swapping a 2.0 L dohc engine from a Lancia Beta coupe into his 128 SL coupe, he also mentions turboing it....so I guess it's still a work in progress project.

Interesting stuff: (I quoted his own reply)

Hi the chassis has to be moved up out of the way ,this job has to be done to both sides fo even body twist. The chassis has to be remade by a sheet metal worker in 1.2mm sheet metal.The gear box now will sit with 120mm of hang in the wheel arch , so the the front has been pumped 2.5 inch on each side so overal 5 inch wider ,so the wheels at the moment i have 225/45/16 wheels on the car at the moment for wider track and the inner space on the wheel for some big brake rotors and calipers. Well look at these tell me what you think.

Now with the pics:
