An Oldie, but a Goodie, No.2

Started a thread with this title a couple of years ago showing a friend's red Alfa GTA at Laguna Seca between heats - would like to continue with the best, most interesting and in my opinion certainly most beautiful part of another Alfa, the engine from a 1933 8C-2800 (for sale at Fantasy Junction in Emeryville, CA).

 

 A very lucky collector will be undoubtedly be very happy with this wonderful old treasure.

Please John , Is it with a volumetric compressor ?

 

Jacques

 

Yes, Jaques, the "C" in early Alfa-Romeo model designations means that the car was equipped with a Compressor. The central gear-train driven Roots-type ' supercharger/ blower could be called a volumetric compressor I suppose, but it is more commonly referred to as a 'positive displacement' supercharger - in this particular case two spiral-cut vanes are used to increase volumetric efficiency of the motor.
