Need Some Help

[1970judge]

Ok in the shop we got a old fiat donated to us. I think its liek an 850 or something. Its in decent shape but the parts are crap. I was taking a lookg at it and its rear engine inline 3 i think. The front is a luggage place but cut the humps out and you have a perfect place for a 350. We had a 350 in the shop and i measured it and it will fit. What do i have to do to make the front end strong enough to hold a cast iron 350? Also what do i do abotu a rear end and driveshaft. Its a fiat 850 spider. But i will make it a coupe somehow.

probably need to alter the frame and suspension substantially to hold a 400 lb engine and tranny, as well as add subframe support to keep it from twisting into two pieces.

for a rear end you could probably use something out of an S10 but i suspect you will need to get a junked rear and have it narrowed with custom axles.

there are probably hundreds of custom driveshaft shops out there so that shouldn't be a problem.
