engine adapter

I have an 850 spider with no engine.i saw on an Argentine site they put one in a 600. A guy sells the engine mounts and a tranny adapter of some kind, maybe to a stock 600 box. I cant imagine it would handle much.
 
Are you looking to go to a VW air-cooled transaxle with a SOHC Fiat motor? Or use the existing Fiat transaxle with a VW motor?

There have been a number of air-cooled VW engine and transmission packages shoved into 850s. Some have been pretty successful (I recall a blue drag car in particular).

Kennedy used to offer an adapter and for I seem to recall Millers Mule also having a VW trans to Fiat twin cam adapter. Neither site currently lists one but that doesn't mean they don't have an old design sitting on a hard drive somewhere :)

You might check with them. I am sure there are others as well.

I'll stick with a fiat engine. Saw a super bad ass x19 drag car with a vw motor in it on the web tho.
I figure i can always say the vw trans is a hewland..haha
 
I should have checked the forum I was in....

I thought this was for an X1/9. The 850 application makes a lot more sense.
