Abarth Valve Cover with Dual Body Manifold for Fiat 500 and 126

Abarth valve cover with integrated manifold: a piece of racing history

The Abarth valve cover with dual body manifold is a rare component for twin-cylinder engine tuning. A replica of golden-age racing solutions, it was designed to minimize vibrations and optimize intake flow by eliminating separate connections. Made of cast aluminum, it integrates ducts for 40 or 45 mm dual-body carburetors (such as Weber DCOE or Dell'Orto DHLA), offering superior structural rigidity compared to traditional systems.

Technical features and engine architecture

Mechanically, this Abarth valve cover with dual body manifold is finned to improve heat dissipation. The design places the carburetor toward the exhaust side; while a faithful replica, it requires careful installation with heat shields to ensure safety and proper air density. Like other aluminum models, the stock oil cap is incompatible; specific A031C or A031SH caps from our store are required.

Technical specifications:

• Compatibility: Fiat 500 F, L, R models and Fiat 126.

• Material: Cast aluminum with embossed Abarth logo.

• Configuration: Integrated dual-body carburetor manifold (40/45 mm).

• Advantages: Smoother airflow and increased carburetor stability.

• Note: Requires dedicated oil cap and thermal insulation from the exhaust.

An upgrade for authentic vintage tuning

Choosing this Abarth valve cover with dual body manifold means adopting an accessory with strong historical character. The finned finish and central logo provide the professional look typical of 60s and 70s tuning. It is the perfect component for those wishing to replicate past racing solutions, radically transforming the architecture and aesthetics of their 500 or 126 engine.
