I floated around between some Fiat and Lancia groups on the web and facebook. I'm trying to find a place to get up to date information on the Fiat twin cam engine. Does anybody suggest a place where I can ask questions and people have a really good body of knowledge?

Not sure what it is like there currently but mirafiori.com is where the hardcore US based Fiat crowd always hung out.
Find a copy of Guy Croft's book? Holy moly!!! I just looked up what that is going for these days!!!
Fiatspider.com forums?

What are you trying know? I have been around them a fair bit
Ital Motors in Edmonton. Fred Del Pero. His son, who runs the place, kinda hates that Dad makes him keep old Fiat parts in stock. I needed a rear caliper for a 124 Spyder last year. On the shelf...
Do you want info or parts? Look up vicks fiat of midwest bayless.
Not overly complicated engines or cars. They tend to leak a little oil, but they are really good engines.
Unlike some Italian engines, you can swap out valve shims fairly easily, without taking alot apart.
My first car was a Fiat 124 spyder, that was a long time ago.

Mirafiori.com is where the cool kids hang out. It's an archaic forum, but the people on it are probably the most knowledgeable you'll find.
