My understanding was that the YUGO GV series was a Fiat 128. There
was a 1500 FI YUGO GVX, 5-spd. I have a repro of the factory shop
manual that shows both engines. Lots of YUGO enthusiasts have swapped
Fiat x 1/9 power trains into the GV & GVX. It's amazing how much of
that stuff is interchangeable. Mine was an 1100cc, 4-spd GV with a carb
and more capillary tubes running around the engine compartment than you
could count. Still, it could cruise at 70 mph and get 35 mpg doing it.
I built a replacement engine out of parts and sold it, running, to a
young couple here in Kerrville for $250. I told 'em to call me if they
had any trouble with it; never heard from them again. I still have most
of a 1100 cc engine. Anyone want it? I'll give it away to the first comer.
