What engine do I have?

Post by Fiat88 »

I'm a little embarassed to admit that after owning this car since 2008, I never checked to see if my engine was really the correct one for my '79 2000 chassis. Well today I checked and it seems that my engine is not a 1995 cc engine.

I checked the head # between the spark plugs and the number was 132 AC 2C underneath that 440611. The middle of the block says 132AC40/. What engine do I have? :?

Take a look at the Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_124_Sport_Spider

Looks like a 1600, but maybe I'm reading it wrong, or Wikipedia could be wrong :)

'79-'80 2 liter carburetor Head is 132 AC 2C with second number being 4406111.

Are you looking at the cast number in the middle of the block? Should be looking at the stamped number on a machined boss just to the right of where the oil dipstick tube goes into the block.

For a 2 liter carburetor engine ('79-'80) the stamped number is 132C2.040 for 49 state or 132C2.031 for California.

See the following link to this info on the Mirafiori site.

Yeah I was looking at the middle of the block as I couldn't fin the lower one you mentioned at first. I found the other one you mentioned but couldn't make all of it out as it is really thinly stamped. The beginning starts with 132 c2 040
