I'd of thought, new mounting designs, bit of chopping and changing where things sit in the bay, and I've consider weighting the back end as it's such a small car.

No but the poke of the turbo engine would upset the balance, would be something new.

Seicentos are cheap as chips because they are shit looking cars, aquire one, gut it and weld it up, there was a time when nobody had done a 2litre conversion in a Nova, only one way to find out I guess.

if the engine will fit dimensionwise, it should be ok. will need seam welding and strengthening a lot, and as VT says, the engine will weigh more, and the power will upset the balabce of such a small car, so it will need a bit of thought with the weight distribution.

oh, and it'll be scary at high speed

anythings possible aint it
i've seen R5GTT lumps in clios. clio 172 lumps in R5s. R5GTT,XE,RST,VTEC lumps in minis, an RST engine in the BACK of a 106 ffs

if you wanna do it, it'll be possible, providing the car is physically wide enough for the engine
