Notes Engine Alfa Romeo Tipo AR 00120 engine was derived from the AR 1315 unit fitted to the Giulietta Sprint Veloce and Spider Veloce. The cylinder block and liners were approximately 0.75 mm lower, increasing the compression ratio without machining the cylinder head and therefore preserving the original combustion-chamber geometry.
