Lancia Flat-4 engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lancia, known for their advanced engineering, surprised the auto world by designing a new aluminum flat-4 engine for their 1961 Flavia. Though it was a pushrod engine, it was advanced for the time. The pushrod version of the Lancia boxer was only ever used in the Flavia. In the mid 1970s, an overhead cam engine based on a similar layout was designed and brought into production in 2 and 2.5 litre forms fitted to the Gamma.

The 1.8 L 1800 was introduced in the mid-1960s. It used an 88 mm (3.5 in) bore and 74 mm (2.9 in) stroke and produced up to 102 hp (76 kW) with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection.

The 2.0 L (1991 cc) 2000 version was the ultimate Flavia engine. Bore was 89 mm (3.5 in) and stroke was 80 mm (3.1 in) for a good oversquare ratio. This engine was produced from 1968 through 1974.
