For this reason, the technical regulation contained rules that restrict the project costs and operational expenses. In an effort to flatten the differences between different cars, engines had to come necessarily from auto series produced in a large number of units on which they were allowed limited interventions. The choice of Bandini, as well as that of many other car

, a new oil sump, and tuned that carried the maximum power up to 90 hp at 6900 rpm. For a better weight distribution, and the passage of piantone steering, the engine was placed at the center of body and tilted 15 degree along the longitudinal axis. The box steering could well be in a perfect position to avoid bump and roll steer.
