I just had an evil thought
Has any one transplanted a Biturbo drivetrain into an Alfetta sedan?
I know where there is a running wrecked one. It's about three doors down from me. I just drove the Fetta and now compared to my 164S with new cams it sucks

its still running ??
umm, wasn't the Bee-turbo, like, the most unreliable car ever
wouldn't be easier (and politically correct) to transplant a Milano 3.0v6 drivetrain ? its been done before . . .

Funny thing is, I recall hearing a few years back about someone swapping the Alfa 2.5 into the biturbo and it being quicker, more reliable and better sounding!

I'll bet someone could make some measurements...Hint,hint...Fetta?
I'm wondering about using the ZF trans and modifying the Dedion with a normal rear end.
I did some measuring on a Maserati V-8 several years ago and it looked like it could have been shoehorned into the Milano/GTV-6. The sump is the only question.
