Here's a pic of the '79 350 cc Morini, my dad recently got, next to the 550, don't feel like writing, i'll tell more about it later.

There was a full report in Motorcycle News when they came out (I think Motorcycle Mechanics did one as well?)
 It used automotive design features, flat cylinder head with bowl in piston (BIP)
 Don't remember much else but I do remember there were full engine/transmission  drawings in one of the mags at the time.

Keep on top of the valve clearances as they will eat exhaust valves if run too tight

Very nice Morini.

Tell your Dad he needs to join the Morini e-mail list (if he hasn't already).  Great bunch of guys with unbelievable technical knowledge:
