ALFASUD

The ‘original’ style boxer engine was made in 1186cc, 1286cc, 1350cc and 1490cc capacities. It used a single overhead camshaft per paired bank of cylinders, with 2 camlobes per valve, and mechanical tappets. These engines used single carburettors mounted in the centre on the top of the engine. Some models (usually the ‘hotter’ TI variants) used single twin choke carburettors.
These engines pwer outputs ranged from 63-85bhp.

By 1983 the 1500 Veloce engine was upto 105bhp, mainly due to the new camshafts, which now only used one lobe per valve, and shim tappets. This engine was used in the final Alfasud Ti model (the Green Cloverleaf), the Sprint and the 33.
The engine was increased to 1712cc in 1986 which gave 118bhp. From around 1988, the engines had new hydraulic tappet heads. Both types of 1700cc engine were used in the final Sprints and the 33 series 2.

I’ve got a 1989 Alfasud and in 1989 there where 418 Sud’s build and my Sud is number 414 and  it has 68000 kilometers on it and runs so Cool.
