Why don't You just take the heads off?
Then You will very quickly find everything You look for. Valve size, pistons/compression, and can check the cc easily. At the same time You can get a quick overview of the condition of the engines. Its a Question of 10 headbolts - 10 min max.....

I have disassembled the alleged Abarth engine completely, its a 2 litre, and now its getting fully restored, but what is the main difference between abarth 2.L engine and the standard 2.L im thinking cams,compression etc, so i can check for sure what type ive bought. with the castingnumber on the head I think its from the Ritmo 130TC Abarth, but we'll see

Im more than grateful for the info on the engines from you guys,

130 TC has pistons with 2mm dome 9,45:1 comp, 43.5 inlet valves with bigger port, distributor driven off inlet cam end. The 130 cams are really nothing to brag about, similar in profile to Croma/Thema.
