Midwest-124 lives and breathes Fiat & Lancia twin-cam engines!  There is nothing as sweet as the sound of a well-tuned DOHC singing at redline through the throats of a pair of dual Weber IDF carburetors.

Whether you are searching for a bone-stock rebuilt power plant, a track-ready performance monster, or anything in between, let Midwest-124 help design and build a custom engine for YOU!  Every customer is unique, so each engine is custom-built to achieve the customers desired results.

The Fiat/Lancia twin-cam engine was one of the automotive world's masterpieces in both performance and beauty.  Each engine build is completed with not only an emphasis on performance and reliability, but also for appearance.  Beam with pride as you open your hood to reveal an engine which is every bit as gorgeous as the Italian sports car it powers!
