Yep, the Lancia narrow angle V4s are the predecessors to VW's VR series 
engines. The Italians beat the Germans to the punch by what, 40 years?

  I sort of recalled Lancia was famous for V-4s with odd angles, which 
the spark plug placement indicates.  Then I tried to turn the coolant 
hose into the intake boot for a few minutes.  Then went googling to see 
where the real intake ports are.  Chevy was not the only one trying 
radical ideas back then.
