Is the PRV 360 what was built to homologate the PRV engine and Alfa drive train so they could use it for racing? Seem to recall it was something like 600bhp on the race track?!?!?!??

Ah, the Devils Fuel!
Never trust an engine that doesn't need a spark to make it fire!
As for the 780, i can sort of forgive that one in a strange way. When the PRV was concieved, it was originally meant to be a V8, hence the 90 degree angle between banks.
Then the fuel crisis of the early 70s struck (1973?) and they "dropped" 2 cylinders off it, thinking they wouldn't be able to sell a new V8 onto the market as it was.
