alfa v6..... which kit?

[jason61c]

A friend is looking at building a kit around the 3.0 v6 24v alfa motor.

Does anyone know what kits fit this motor or a unfinished one for sale?

Most sevens would accommodate that engine with some careful packaging. A better question would be, does anyone know of a sweven that you could not fit it to? I don't, although there may be some. It's more an installation problem than a which kit problem.

Good fit for a Dino replica!

If they're still going of course.

Assuming you're still interested after last week's episode of Top Gear, couldn' this be used in a Stratos replica?...

stratos would be great however they're bloody expensive!

I never believe what I see on top gear, neither do the public with an IQ higher than 5 I hope!

It might be possible to get one in a GTM Libra with the V6 tub.

Mine's fited with an Alfa 24v V6. And, do you know what? It only spins off the road occassionally.

No more than once or twice a week.

Of course, I'm a waaay better driver the The Stig ever will be.

Not exactly sure, but I think the Rover V6 that is fitted to the GTM's will be a fair bit smaller than the Alfa one, theres barely any room in the engine bay of our 3.2V6 Alfa 166 and it's a fairly big car, even less room under the bonnet of our old 2.5V6 156 and thats not exactly a small car...bigger engine bay than a Libra anyway.

Plus all that weight over the back...


Be nice to see it tried though.

So what is your budget?

ISTR Napiersport were working on a version of their Corse I Stratos replica that was mainly single donor 156 V6 to get the build costs down. Might be worth asking them how they got on with that.

I think if I am dumping 230BHP into a chassis, I don't want it to be *too* cheap
