Are you sure it's pushrod??

I thought the 750 was the smallest incarnation of the "FIRE", and really about 769cc

 

[Enzo]

There are two 769cc engines, and the one which equipped the Young versions was a pushrod type derived from the glorious 903cc.Btw both of them delivered the same power, 34Hp if I well remember...maybe the UK specs didn't cover this unit[^]!Can you help me with the same values for the 750fire??

P.S. take a look here https://www.fiatforum.com/modelguide/model.asp?id=10!


Only a dream inside my head...take a look at the avatar! (Oh...no!!) The following year saw the arrival of the Panda Young with a 769cc engine which used the old 903cc block and produced the same 34bhp as the FIRE unit.

According to Haynes the 769 FIRE is the same as the 999:

0.3 mm plus or minus 0.05 inlet
0.4 mm plus or minus 0.05 exhaust

I'm not sure if a pushrod 769 ever made it across the channel

John's correct.

The only pushrod engine was the 903cc

And the 956cc in the mk1 4x4.
Would it be possible to put the top of this engine onto a 903cc to increase the power output?
I've just noticed, wrong thread!
