Pre-Production with Semi-Asso engine (19L inline 6, one block of Asso 1000) as its available and does work.
Early series staying with Semi-Asso engine
Late series (35/36) moving to L1406 engine (720hp)
38/39 production aircraft refitted with uprated (996hp) engine with more emphasis on low altitude performance as newer and better fighters appear. This version also includes bombracks and a ventral 25mm cannon. (Pictured)
Edit; I just had a play with fitting the Asso XI engine (960hp) and a larger fuselage to accomodate it. Had to increase the weight a bit but it actually works quite well. Might end up using that instead.

The tolerances for desmodromic valves make them expensive to manufacture and unsuitable for mass production.

I must be misunderstanding what you mean by 140x170

140mm bore by 170mm stroke rather than the 146x160 given. The data given for the Asso 750 is also incorrect. The engine should fit into the fuselage but there might have to be bumps over the cylinders as in the Griffon Spitfires.
Armament: I'm not really happy with planebuilders assumptions especially for large calibre weapons.
