"The FIRE unit was available in 750, 999, and 1108 cc in a huge range of cars from Fiat/Lancia and at one time was the worlds most produced petrol engine. It was so clever because it was so simple and was a dream to sell cos it always worked! So much so Ford tried in vain for 5 years to buy the licence to have it for the then New Fiesta, hence why Ford kept putting the ancient old push rod in it and in the KA, cos they kept waiting thinking they would get it!
I tested a 1299cc version that was buit for evaluation to build a Cinqucento Super 1300cc Rally Car, but the idea was s****ped when the FIA just went for S1600. The S1300 Cinq had 16valve twin cam"
This is a quote of another forum (not Fiat) that i follow. Some interesting info hear or is it already common knowledge??
