I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Sports Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and Fi injectors clean as new!

Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
Dont forget to put 1:100 two stroke Oil API TC into the tank for each fill, because thats good for the carbs and the pistons..modern fuel does not take care of the old engine materials!
Yep, but it's tight. You can't have the original air filter, no electrical fan, and not the alquati manifold. I have filter socks on the Dellorto 45's but the frontmost carb sits to close to the hood so it doesn't run properly with this setup.
@polkakung when I put a1756 in my ac it ran too hot ,so I used the electric fan ,you need to cut a slot in the fan frame for the waterpump pulley bolts. I tried twin IDF 40's but 1756 engines vary a lot, good ones are great some are ordinary. mine ate g/boxes, used abarth box out of 131 sport with longer fifth, If I did it again i'd use lancia 1998? Worst brakes ever!!!
@JackVrooder I did - I had an AC with a CC 1800 AND BC twin down drafts and cams - just get some sports air cleaners or raise the bonnet catch, you will have to lose the original intake funnels. Or steal a bonnet of an Arbarth spider!!
It's the original head, same as the abarth. But I've spent a winter modifying it. Larger and matched ports, cut valve guides, race cut big valves etc.
Currently I'm running with dual 45 Dell's, 300° cams, 4-1, big valves and a lot of head work. Really fun to drive, but I'm on my fourth rear axle now.
I love Fiat twin cams - sure you can abuse and break anything, but a sound coup engine will take it all day and all night!!
Even the 125 motor in my AC when I first had it was a screamer, good for 110 mph in third gear - OK this was abuse - but it took it all!!
