IIRC, they're both 4v small blocks, so the only significant differences btw them would be the displacement? Monza 500cc & Imola 350cc?

 

Good question, but the small blocks don't seem to get a lot of traffic outside their own little Yahoo! groups & such...

Remembered one of my books that might have some small-block specs & pulled it out: sure enough, there was some info! Of course, it's Mick Walker, so all data is suspect, but from what I can extract, the v35 Imola II, v50 Monza II, v65 Lario & some V75 models are 4v heads (marked with "****" below.) From pics, the v50 Monza II looks like a scaled down version of the LeMansIII. You'll note that the 4v heads were all only produced for a couple years, & then Guzzi reverted to the 2v head designs after running into too many failures [symptomatic of rushing a poorly engineered product to market. :(]
