Is this a car from Argentine Mecanica Formula 1 ?

fromwien · « **Reply #28 on:** August 04, 2024, 04:36:39 PM »

I don't have the possibility at the moment for a look in my archive. I don't know exactly from memory, where and in which category the car ever raced. I will try to check later

I'm having problems working out the engine - it's not a V8 because the carbs are on the side of the block. Is it an inline 6-cylinder?

It's got four rampipes for the carbs and four exhaust pipes. I can't decide how many cylinders - is it more than 4 cylinders?
There are four double-carbs, eight rampipes and 2x 4 exhaust pipes..

Please follow this hint working out the engine

Did you find out if this was the Argentine domestic Formula 1 ?

This racer hasn't been built in Argentina

I've found a lot of new puzzle material looking in the wrong place

Is it a mock-up for the projected 1966 Willys-Gavea?

We'll sink our teeth into it in the near future, I think

Jairo and Jair Amaro -built VW boxer? Built in Brazil 1969.

fromwien · « **Reply #44 on:** August 07, 2024, 06:47:03 AM »

Not built by Jairo and Jair Amaro, not built in Brazil, not VW-boxer-engine...
...why you don't want to have the engine identified as a V8-lump?

nicanary · « **Reply #45 on:** August 07, 2024, 06:54:45 AM »

Because the carbs are on the side of the block and not in the centre. Never seen a V8 like that - I must research further.

From Brazil ?

There are fourWeber DCOE's on curved inlet-manifolds in the centre of the block.
Not from Brazil
