I've just learned something.
The 4/4 did indeed use a Fiat engine as standard (albeit 1584cc) in the early 80's as the replacement for the 1600 crossflow until Ford offered MMC the CVH, first as an option then as standard from about 1984.
I thought it was only the Plus 4 that used the Fiat engines.
At that time I don't think the Plus 4 was in production as my 4/4 book talks about Morgan's continued relationship with Fiat on the newly re-introduced wider bodied Plus 4 in 1985.
So from what I can see the Plus 4, in addition to the 2 litre engine, would have been wider bodied and have wider wheels and tyres.
In effect you've got the Plus 4 engine in a narrow body 4/4.
There are many people on here who have those era cars who will either confirm or dispute my conclusions and elaborate.
That's one of the great things about Morgans and TM, there are always new things to learn and indeed mistakes to make.
