Karlos,
Am I right in saying that:- the Fiat engine is a Half Ferrari V8, 2750cc of the late '40s early '50s, with a new designed block?? This is what I have been told in the Old days in '60s!!
or am I

we had blown this engine up to 1250 cc with twin carbs, tuned by Srikant Shah, for Rallying, and used to test touching upto 150kmph, and rock steady[with skill offcourse]. Just that in one race the engine had to be reopened everytime.
