Intake and carb upgrade

[djape1977]

1966 ford 12m. for sale in belgrade by it's first owner, 90yrs old grandpa of a friend of mine. 1.3l v4 engine. i'll probably buy it, since it's in very good condition for it's age. needs a decent paintjob and engine rebuild, since oil consumption is 0.5l/1000km.
there's also some more oldtimers up for grabs around here, just to mention 1969. fiat 125 special and 850sc http://www.mojauto.rs/mySlike.php?image0=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/24/big_479896-7b5f.JPG&timage0=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/24/big_t479896-7b5f.JPG&w0=1024&h0=768&image1=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/25/big_479897-4347.JPG&timage1=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/25/big_t479897-4347.JPG&w1=1024&h1=768&image2=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/26/big_479898-fb42.JPG&timage2=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/26/big_t479898-fb42.JPG&w2=1024&h2=768&image3=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/27/big_479899-075a.JPG&timage3=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/27/big_t479899-075a.JPG&w3=1024&h3=768&image4=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/32/big_479904-42a7.JPG&timage4=http://www.mojauto.rs/images/10/32/big_t479904-42a7.JPG&w4=1024&h4=768&counter=5&header=Fiat%20%20850%20Sport%20Coupe

Re: V4.

I should have known tht the Americans would do the obvious: cut a V8 in half. 

(maybe they alos did the opposite: weld two V8's together ! but certainly joint a V8 with a V4 to make a V12? 

Were there any V16's ? 

Anyway, any comments on V4 performance ?

nothing special... very little vibration in operation. evrything else is as you would expect of 60's engine

In the UK I can remember the Ford Corsair fitted with a V4 engine, if I remember correctly it looked like the V6 Essex engine with two cylinders chopped of similar to the Opel 3litre and 2litre but not in v configuration.

Still loving the site, even though I,ll probably wont ever get another 131 I still love them and thanks for the memories.
