Title: Re: my 131 engine Post by: mirafioriman on June 28, 2008, 07:40:19 PM 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! Title: Re: my 131 engine Post by: sid131 on June 28, 2008, 07:53:20 PM The cam covers are plain its the cam box or housing that has lancia on it
