can i use 1016 engine ok?

[FulviaFanalona]

thanks for that

well my HF would have been HFS(if HFS means 1016)

If Lancia had homogolated them properly ie.1st 500 w/1016. Unfortunalty no one really knows what they did so i guess my next question would be what would happen to my HF if I 1016'ed it in theory it should be standard. (its actually less than 500th made)

It should have been homologated as 1016 so who would know? and what about all the efforts the works teams did to their HF's eg dollorto's 48's lightweight panels etc etc?

By the way Brian Long reckons that Lancia DID homologate 1016 and I would have thought the works team all had 1016 and needed them to homologate.

I would like the best advatage I could get without 'home made' mods

Thanks for looking if you can add please do

If you want to race in the HSCC you will have to race in Historic RoadSports and you will have to argue with the scruitineers and HSR technical bods. Good luck.

Certainly some of the HF road cars had extra parts over the standard Fulvia HF, but remember that everyone in rallying was cheating like mad - they were supposed to build 500 Stratoses but they never did!

variante 1016 was a entry level competition package although by no means easy to exceed. If the HSR permit you to run as a 1.6 HF-S (assuming big carbs permitted) then you could run with circa 160bhp rather than 115 as standard or 130 as variante 1016.

You will want to err on the side of caution when preparing your car. Lancia were running a works budget. You are not.
