Curly, that Fiat Spider reminds me of my dear departed 124AC coupe.. :cry:
I was going to offer you a spare recond 124AC head but it won't fit a 2L.
Guess I'll have to leave it sitting on my S block (won't fit, but looks nice! :P

You mean like this one?
Unfortunately Fiats are a disease, similar to that infecting mini enthusiasts. I've got both strains, and once you've been infected you can't help yourself, besides the Spider and Coupe share a similar platform and many components. My AC coupe runs a 1608 - perhaps your head will fit that?

Wasn't there a 124 spider featured in Australian Classic Car magazine a few issues back? If my memory serves me correctly the guy lived in Tasmania and was going to sell it.

(trudges off to search the haystack....)

Curly,
It will fit a 1608 (125) motor, they are the exactly same head except the 124AC had more cam lift.
Head has had 8 new guides fitted and 7 new valves. As a Fiat enthusiast you can guess why...
Not run since.
I have an inlet manifold for it too.
And a few egg crates full of valve shims, and the valve tool. :P
If interested, PM me.. :wink:
