156 Advice + Engine Needed
Discussion
Hi all.
I have just acquired my dads old car. It’s a 2003 156 1.6sportivo. It’s an insurance write off (water ingress and bent conrods) but in great condition.
I plan on doing it up and either keeping it or selling it on, but am undecided whether to replace the bent conrods or put in a second hand engine (2.0 hopefully). Any advice on this? I believe the old ecu will run the 2.0 engine fine? I’ve replaced big-end bearings on my own GTV so the size of the job doesn’t bother me.
If anyone knows of an engine for sale could you please let me know? Im also looking for a full leather interior and the climate control module (wont allow different temp setting for each side).
Thanks.
