IT COMES FROM A GOOD HOME JOE.On Jul-22-13 at 05:25:26 PDT, seller added the following information: THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT RESPONSE TO THIS 1967 FIAT. FOLLOWING ARE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED.... Hoping this would be a good autocrosser but am unfamiliar with the application of the 124 engine (aside from general knowledge) - low end torque? or all top end power? This car has a flat torque curve and would make an excellent autocross car. I take it from your response on the engine/cam that this engine does NOT run backward?It runs backward. I'm assuming due to the Abarth tranny. I guess my prior exposure has been with 124 engines mated to the 850 transaxle, hence the special 'backward' cam application I was thinking of. You're thinking of the OHV engine. To get the TC to run backwards, just rephase the cams (1432 becomes 1243).
