I really want to put a turbo engine in my 156, linked with a nice gearbox i think it would be a good conversion if done properly, any ideas thought on what engine to use that isnt going to be too much hassle?
Any experience and comments welcome here as i need all the help i can get, im not good with thinking what engine.

Thanks
Josh

TS engine, with lancia turbo head and manifold (and turbo, obviously).

Dunno if the gearbox would fit though...

Or maybe the engine from a Fiat Coupe. Been done in GTVs, iirc...

How easy would the fiat coupe engine be to drop in ?

There's a turbo'd 1.6 engine for sale over on Alfa156.net. Was Pat's old engine.

280 horses from a 1.6. Not bad.

2100 Euro's...thats a bargain!

There was a 1.6 Turbo engine for sale a while ago which was £3000
