I owned one of these cars in the 1970's.

At that time there was a Fiat racing company in Georgia (can't remember the name) which sold instructions and parts to install an oil filter.

Complicated undertaking the best I can remember - had to remove the engine, remove oil pan, and take it to a welding shop to get some of the oil passages closed off. I then think it had to be drilled for new passages with hose adapters to route the oil to the new filter which bolted to the inside of the engine compartment.

Had to use special oil resistant hoses and on several occasions the hoses would pop off, spraying oil all over the hot engine and sending the car to the side of the road in a cloud of smoke.

A lot of work and, in today's terms, would be expensive.

Does a Fiat have a backseat?

The Fiat coupes all have back seats with factory belts, same for the Brava's and Lancia's, although the Lancia Zagita only has leg room for a very small child. The 124 Spider has a back seat but there are no seat belts factory installed as laws requiring all passengers to wear them were not passed until after the early 1980s. Fiat were no longer shipped into the US after 1982 so most spider models will not have seat belts installed in the rear seat making it against the law for someone to use for a passenger. Also the spider back seat has no leg room. The older model 850 spider's along with the X-19 have no rear seats. in memory of dad


What engine will fit in a 1970 fiat 850 spider?

The original US version of the 850 had an 847 cc engine that evolved from the Fiat 600 powerplant except it rotates the wrong way. A 600 engine will bolt in but there are water pump issues and you will have 1 speed forward and 4 in reverse. The clean air act mandated emission controls for all engines over 50 cubic inches displacement. Fiat shrunk the 847 cc engine to 817 cc which is 49.9 cubic inches and under the limit. WHen that exemption was eliminated Fiat expanded the engine to 903 cc and greatly improved its lubrication system. The 903 is the best choice for any 850 bodied sedan, coupe, or spider. Abarth offered a kit that adapted the Fiat 124 engine to the 850 but these kits are very hard to find and tend to be expensive. The kit allowed either the pushrod of with some messing around the 124 twin cam engine to be fitted. The big disadvantage of a larger engine is that the weight bias to the rear gets even worse than with the 850 engine. With primitive swing axles and well over 60% of the vehicle weight on the rear wheels the car can be downright lethal in inexperienced hands. There are several sources like Bayless who can supply all kinds of 850 parts and are wizards at interchangeability. I would be glad to answer questions to the best of my ability at USDSJDM01@AOL.COM. I am not a parts supplier or dealer of any kind-just a Fiat enthusiast.
