Today I finally did it. I removed the engine from the Fiat. I supposedly had only 4 bolts remaining until the engine could come out (according to the manual), but I ended up having several more in very difficult locations. I did get it out and it only took 2 hours.
Then engine compartment in the rear of the car. Notice the transmission in the middle and the radiator on the right. The rear body panel comes out so that the engine can be pulled straight out the back.
Here is is, the mighty 4 cylinder 767 cc (46.8 cu in) engine. Top speed = possibly 68 mph.
Close up the the connection to the transmission.
Radiator fan and pulley
Another view of the engine compartment.
Plans for next week: continue to clean out the interior, begin stripping EVERYTHING off the body.
