Most probably is a Lancia engine, someone could have fitted Lancia cam covers, but it is unlikely that anyone would have fitted a Lancia manifold. Fiat twin cams have plain cam covers. The engine type number is cast into the block near the engine mounts. Can't remember which side though  :-\

Hope this helps!

The cam covers are plain its the cam box or housing that has lancia on it
