Just wondering if anybody out there is racing or building an early style Autodelta 16v engine. This pre-70 style differs from the later Autodelta 16v in that it had unequal bore spacing monosleeve, exactly the same bore spacing as the GTAm engine. It was commonly used for motor boat racing. I recently obtained this rare head and a monosleeve block with a bore of 86mm and am trying to decide on which way to proceed. Should I go with the historically correct 86mm bore and build as a 1900cc, or prepare a 2 liter engine with a 84.5mm bore and standard 1750 stroke, or go for the smaller FIA legal 1300cc build??
I’m missing some of the small head items like lifters and some of the bearings so if you have a similar engine and have accessed some of the parts (cam bearing, lifters, new valves, etc) or just want to have a discussion about these engines, either add to this post or drop me a private message and I’ll reply by email.
