Maybe some dislexic folks swapped the numbers around to get to 1750??

The 1800cc motor was designated as 016.78 and was in fact a swept volume of
1779cc with a bore and stroke of 80mm x 88.5mm.  CR was 9.5:1.

John,

I don't think the folks at Alfa Romeo were dyslexic since I believe that's
what they called the 1779cc engine which was put in the 105 "1750" series
cars. Marketing dyslexia more likely.
