Title: Head on e bay Post by: parrish on June 15, 2010, 03:31:25 PM Anyone know what this is off and would it fit a 20 131?

good value too if it's in good nick. adjustable cam gears - 100e twin webers - 200e inlet manifold - 100e minimum Title: Re: Head on e bay Post by: chris131 on June 15, 2010, 09:59:56 PM Odd that the distributor is on the inlet camshaft, most twincam engines had the distributor on the exhaust camshaft.

Lancia always tended to use the inlet cam but a Lancia twin cam is different to a Fiat twin cam in a few different technical ways...

Title: Re: Head on e bay Post by: theredx19 on June 15, 2010, 10:45:00 PM It will physically fit but you would need to check the inclination of the montecarlo engine as I think they sat at 10 degres from the norm so the manifold wont work

Title: Re: Head on e bay Post by: djape1977 on June 16, 2010, 07:18:01 AM that's correct but it only means that there'll be more oil in the exaust cambox of that head when placed horizontally than in ordinary 131 head. no harm in that.
