Dino Engine

[eptapsyxos]

Hello from Greece
Nice to find your forum.

I am thinking to order an LB turnkey car.
I ve contacted already the company.(waiting for response)

But i want to ask you.
How is possible to fit the engine from fiat dino 2.4?
My father have one and he gave me his permission to used it as i want.

As far i searched the net,the problem might be the transmission swap?


Thank you very much.

Nobody has done that in a ListerBell as far as I know. You will have to speak to Craig about it.
that is a nice thing to have lying around looking for a use!

This is an inside look of the Gr4 Lancia stratos Full Dog Box.
Not made by Zf....but from Cima in torino.

@chriscar6 thank you for your response.

The 308 gearbox is similar and can be made to fit.

I'm pretty sure Craig is on holiday at the moment.

Gerry does a chassis for the Dino, always has. Have you also considered that the Dino carbs will need to be changed? Drop gears etc?

Good luck with the project though!

Ferrari 246 / 308 mounts are the most straightforward and simple to fabricate.
Compared to engines and transmissions with front wheel drive origins.

@john
yes Craig is on holiday and it will be back at 20 august.He replied to me before 2 hours.

@guy mayers
Ofcourse the carbs will be changed and it will be fitted the 3 twin-throat 48 IDF Weber down-draft carburetors to match the correct period specs.
and a number of modifications on the engine must be done
1)Different Valves(bigger).
2)Forged billet pistons.
3)Ported and gas flowed head...
To change the standar compression rate of the engine from 9:1 to 14:11
and to achieve the 265hp at 7.800rpm.

But all this will be done on second phase of the project.

My first concern is how this can be doneto fit the engine,because i have no mechanical or fabrication skills...
@prototipo
Good to hear that.
