    Dino Engine

    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!

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

    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.
