Hi,
I tried to replace a Giulletta rear end with a 105 a LONG time ago... as I recall, not one part was the same! This included internal bearing seats etc. Lots of internals looked similar, but had been enlarged for the later 1600 Giulia. I know what your thinking, you have a Giulia! But the later cars had many more changes that the early Giulia spiders, most obviously the spring mounts on the radius arms, and the t-bar mount being horizontal instead of vertical. My advice is to look for a used Giulia rear end.
I've never tried the 2.0 conversion, but I think the simplest approach involves using the 1600cc flywheel. '63 was a 1600 wasn't it? For what it's worth I love my 1600 (Duetto) nice flexible motor but with some of the original rev happiness of the 1300's.
Good luck with your car.
Mike
