The 1.6L is an industrial version of the T4.
One of the primary uses was NATO mobile artillery IIRC. Formula Super Vee used that engine for their series for a few years before moving on to 1.6L rabbit engines. Those short manifolds were intended for Solex carbs. I think I have a pair here somewhere. |
