Hi, can anybody out there help me ? I am at a stage in a full scale restoration of my 4/4 where I wish to replace all of the hoses and ducting on the engine.I started this project four years ago when I removed the engine together with the hoses and ducting that I placed in a box in the interim, now I have reached a stage where I intend fitting new plumbing I cannot for the life of me remember what went where and so I was hoping that someone out there who had an original spec.Twin Cam and could take some detail pictures of the engine that they could send to me and help me out of this confusion.
Thanks in anticipation, Owen AKA bilibib

I have a good write up on the 2.0 litre twin cam from sporting cars in the mid eighties. I think they were impressed by the car. Good luck with the rebuild.

When I bought My '61 DHC it had a Fiat Twin Cam and a 3 spd GM Automatic. On My initial trip from Southern California, up the Pacific Coast, it was a delight, until I had to pull a very long hill on the California/Oregon border. I shifted to 2nd gear and to maintain 50 MPH the RPM was at 7,000 (or about). It was a long grind for sure. The Fiat Twin Cam handled it OK but the Driver did not.
