I found a fiat X1/9 on CL today. the lady states make a offer. the body looks pretty sweet and straight. but she states that the trans. stick broke off in the trans. I know that the trans. is supper pricey. But I was wondering what about a motor swap and trans swap. I have a 1988 ford escort 1.9l ho motor and trans. so I was thinking about swapping the motor and trans. Anybody have any ideas about this. b/c the car would handle great I would think. and be quick(not fast) maybe great for a dd and autocrosser.
