It was the twin cam out of a fiat 131 apparently with guy croft inlet manifold ( offset) running twin 45s. I dare say it had the big valve ( 42mm inlet , 36mm exhaust with dual interference springs) conversion running high lift cams ( 40/80 80/40 with 10.4mm lift) and uprated fuel pump. Would normally need to up the compression to between 10:1 or 11:1 in conjunction with the Astadur type head gasket used on the 130tc. Plugs would be upgraded to Champion C61 / C59 or equivalent.
That little lot should push out a very reliable 180bhp from one of the torquiest engines around.
