Well it looks like a 70's normally aspirated V8, and judging by the exhaust is either an F1 or other single seater installation.

Have I got the correct racing formula?

You are correct in the fact that it is a V8

and that it is normally aspired, but it is a little bit older than the seventies.
This engine was not powerful enough to compete in F1. As far as I know it was not installed in a single seater.

Let's start from the beggining: is it Italian?

75america · « **Reply #10 on:** November 25, 2009, 12:59:23 PM »

Martin V8?

( which was a very compact V8 based on ford X-flow or pre-X-flow parts, I believe )

The reason I think if might be one is that the heads do not look like they are offset from eachother...

Not British but indeed a racing engine.
