[6alfas]

No relationship to seller, etc.

[bianchi1]

i wonder if that will fit in my spider motor bay i might be able to beat those pesky ricers

[darth dino]

alfa made aircraft engines . . . maybe its a radial

[velocedoc]

Most likely a very late truck motor.

[Little Italian]

Oh sure.....

The twenty litres are used on the Vaporettos that operate the Grande Canal in Venice. All diesels as I recall.

[jamieandthemagi]

its probably based on one of these ?

[dretceterini]

I don't think Alfa ever made even an aircraft engine as big as 20 liters...

[alfadan]

its only 1220 ci. many radials of ww2 were bigger, like the hellcats 2600 or 2800.

[jamieandthemagi]

28.71 litres apparently

1935-1939 Savoia Marchetti S79
A shot of the plane after the substitution of the Piaggio engines with the more powerful Alfa Romeo 125 RC 35 engines. The various records are written on the rudder; the most important is the one obtained on the 5th of August 1935 during the flight Massaua-Cairo-Rome under the command of Mag. Biseo with Gen. Valle on board. It is interesting to notice here the military S/N 260 used for experimental machines. It is also good to notice the aerofoil struts on the tail. Other records reported on the rudder includes the speed records of 1000 and 2000 km, with various loads, obtained during the month of September
