Thats easy a volvo 2.3 liter 5cyl turbo makes 220hp stock easily get 300 with a few mods and readilly available .Pretty sure will bolt up to the volvo 4spd with electric over drive would be a way fun car!
Just dreamin at this point, LOL. Is the Neon engine used in anything RWD? I'd just as soon "bolt up" an engine / trans (prolly 5 speed) as opposed to tryin' to adapt some junk.
Friend of mine used to have a 124. They are kinda neat little cars. I need one like I need (additional) holes in my head LOL
There ya go! Odds are decent that was an AX-5 or AX-15 trans, same Aisin trans family used behind the Supra NA and turbo engines. Not a T-5, but just as good and perhaps better.2004 jeep wrangler used the 2.4 4 cylinder in rear wheel & 4 wheel with a 5 speed. it's the same bellhouseing as 2.0 neon engine

You can put anything you want in it. Fiats will accept anything, if you are willing to make a few mods. For example I have a friend with a '59 Fiat 600. It has a 2000? HP Dart small Chev, bored and stroked to 434CI, 2sp Powerglide, blown, runs on fuel, and has done 299.6 at B'ville. Probably 300+ this year. So be bold. You only get to go around once.
I was thinking more of a hi output 4 whanger, "something I can get parts for" LOL, n maybe a turbo. That's sure a fair price, that new top has to be worth some of that.
Rotary all the way 12B engine, small, easy to find with transmission and loads of power. Comes with a 4 barrel holley too.
Or pick up a turbo rotary!!
Just sling a 6BT Cummins in it. Let it hang out the front. Who cares if the suspension won't hold it up? Just let it sit there and idle in the driveway.
