Howdy from Wisconsin

Post by schuhie »

Hey,
I'm new here and recently picked up my first spider.
Its a 1976 124 manual with a 2011 Kawasaki ZX-14R engine swap. Its a blast to drive and I have plans to replace the rear axle with an S10 unit for the winter and auto-x it next summer.

Pictures in the link.

Hi
and holy sh**! What a muscle car! What are the key performance indicators of this engine?
Seems to be a high quality engine conversion, congratulations!

The worldwide Register counts actually 14 conversions to non FIAT engines (your one included, found at facebook and by a sales ad in 2015).

Cheers Ralf

Hmmmmmmm? Roughly double the horsepower. That looks like a real fun ride. I think a replacement rear end is a wise decision. Is that brake lever a parking brake or just a hand brake? May I ask what the vehicle on the whel dollies in the background is?

I can only imagine that redline is in the 10K to 11K range. That must sound awesome!!
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!
