Alfa engine transplant

[kitfreak]

Does anyone know someone who can transplant an Alfa V6 into my Italia?

Thats a great looking car!

I suppose it depends on what drive layout youre going to use, ie, transverse fwd or longitudinal rwd etc.
Have you the physical room for such a transplant? etc.
Not to mention all the necessary parts!

Looks like itd be an A1 idea if it all goes in.....wonder if the 3.2 (320bhp) v6 out of the Gta would fit???

Have fun with this one!

It would be RWD and Id imagine it could be made to fit a Ford type 9 gearbox with an adaptor plate. By all accounts it should fit as its dimensionally slightly smaller than a Rover V8 which fits the engine bay pretty much perfectly. Being an Italian influenced car I wanted something a little more closer to 'home' than the old Rover plus the feeling of breaking new ground!

Could you not do the majority of the fitment yourself?

I only ask that as itd save you a whole heap of money and youd get it just how you wanted it.
