I'm sure there those who are considerably more intuitive than others when it comes to swapping. Also, if they are familiar with electronic fuel injection, know how to trouble shoot it, and are retaining it when installing, I would assume it is pretty 'straight forward' for them.

One of the reasons I phrased it - "...would do it again, knowing what they (you) know now?" - is for those where the installation wasn't straight forward. Meaning was the struggle worth it? I'll be installing my TS in an Alfetta GT which has some different problems than for someone installing one in a Spider or GTV. 'We' can bolt up the exhaust using the stock TS exhaust manifolds and can retain the TS sump pan, however there is a hood interference problem with the front of the engine.

Mostly I want to hear if its worth it but certainly wouldn't mind if there was some exchange of 'tips'. I gather most are not too happy with the choice of aftermarket air cleaner (I agree) and wouldn't it be great if someone came up with an air cleaner which physically fits in both 'types' of Alfa and looks like it belongs there?

But, please, keep the 'owner satisfaction' comments coming in.
