I cleaned up the original 4 cylinder 845 cc engine on the original car but discovered that that the aluminum head was cracked. Forutunately I located a donor car that had the Gordini engine so I used that head as well as the disk type air cleaner instead of the snorkel type on the original. I installed new gaskets and then painted the motor Britsh Racing Green to match the color of the original motor.
