This car is quite lovely although I don't believe it did much competition work in period and I'd be afraid to stand next to an 8V motor developing that kind of power.
I know of at least 4 8V motors with the 8-port heads and 36IF4C carbs.
This car, chassis 026, Berlinetta Speciale Corsa chassis 032 and 304, and the Siata "Mexico" coupe chassis BS537. There are a pair of the 8-port heads in very rough condition floating around out there somewhere and Fiat cast a number of blocks with provision to mount the 8-port heads.
There is no evidence that Fiat or Siata ever mounted "an extra carburettor" on the 8V.

Fifty years down the road, the design still is sweeter than its 21st century imitators. Genius!
