Good job on the Beta engine. Many differences from a Fiat 2.0-L engine.Nice, work on the updates. My1976 has a 2.0 from a 1982 Beta with F.I.

Would definitely read that. More grist for the mill.Some mods were necessary, according to the P.O. That built the car. He did wright an article on a How to. In the Lancia club magazine. I do have a copy and post it. If anybody would like to read it.
This is much like an X in that you need to release the side mount - sheave is pulley in the text:I still need to replace the water pump.
Coolant pump used on the Scorpiacarlo (Scorpion/MonteCarlo) is different from the common Lancia beta or Fiat Spyder coolant pump. The pump should have a larger impeller, this is due to the length of the cooling system and volume of coolant.
Get the proper and correct coolant pump specific to the Scorpiacarlo..

Mike, those look great. I appreciate you reaching out. I'm not yet sure what what direction I want to go with it aesthetically. Too early for me to pull the trigger on cosmetics. Thanks for thinking of me but don't let me keep you from selling to anyone else that might be interested.I have a set of MonteCarlo bumpers, if interested please contact me.
Yea, the most affordable round tail lights I can find that fit what I'm after.Are those C3 Corvette tail lights?
Nothing wrong with them. Just checking. They fit without needing much recess.Yea, the most affordable round tail lights I can find that fit what I'm after.
Same Maserati wheels on# 209, these are aluminum alloy 6.5" wide, the single color 6" wide wheels are magnesium with less weight.I'm pretty bad about posting on here but the slow and steady work continues. It was on hold for a bit as I have another newborn taking up a lot of my time.
New wheels after going through the hassle of getting the Alfa wheels to work (they made me feel like I was trying to make this car look like a Ferrari). These are Maserati wheels that fit and look great
I also weighed the car, mostly out of curiosity. It was on my garage floor without leveling the scales to each other but I did flip the car around and weigh it again with basically the same results. I'd estimate a less than 5% margin of error.
Empty fuel tank and I forgot the rear hood was off.
2133lbs total, about what I expected. The surprise for me was the cross weight difference between right and left rear. 80ish lbs, I'm guessing a full tank and driver might balance these out a bit closer. Curious if it was engineered that way or if it just is what it is.
