Here is the - shortened - text I read:

Lancia Fulvia's engine

Fulvia's engine was designed by Eng. PhD. Mina with goal to build very compact unit.
Matter of Fact : V architecture to keep small overall length, angle of V narrow (12.00.00 degrees) to have single head, real DOHC distribution, can be considered short stroke. Base is cast iron, head in aluminum alloy like crankcase & oil cup. The cc ranges from 1.1 to 1.6 of Fanalone. 1.8 version for only racing was rumored.

Some Lancia labourer remember a Fulvia powered 850cc engine.

Lancia never acknowledged the specials.

Engine in last evolution alimented by 2 double barrel carbs.

There are 4 experimental version of engine with mechanical injection. 1st using Kügelfischer injection a 810.540 with displacement reduced at 1500cc & special cylinder head.
The 2d was an experiment by Facetti on 1,300cc engine for a Zagato Competizione, was quite unsuccessful. 3d attempt by Baggioli on 818.342 variante 1014 engine oversized to 1401cc achieved great power from use of a sequential double spark.

Looks familiar. Where have I seen this before - - - - - ah i have it.On the obscure "Viva Lancia" site.
Check the Fulvia pages. There is an English version >:D<

Yes, there are links to this and much more on the viva-lancia home page.
In fact, this is one of the first key information resources I used both before and after buying my car.
Cheers!

Anyone know who put up this site? Is there a home page?

Its kind of wierd reading detailed information without a body behind it. There was on one page a "text by...." note.

Geoff, here's the starting point for various Fulvia details on the same site:

For some reason Neil's link just goes to the engine section.
