2L in a 33?

[gtv630]

I'm sure I once saw a photo of a 33 with a 2L drivetrain (late 145). Has anyone seen that article and know where I can download it? It was a TwinSpark motor with its gearbox, I know the 'fake' firewall was cut away. Ring any bells people??

Any help appreciated

Begs the question WHY?? Buy a 75 TS and save the $$$ then its Rwd and would have its chassis intact. Maybe im not getting it for some reason.

OMG - this is over the top but must be fun !!!

No, the one I was looking for is a 2L 16v TwinSpark motor not a V6, thanks anyway, great article

There is nothing really in common with the old sud,33,sprint and the 145,146 except the badge and the fact that Alfa mounted a boxer into the later ones. The 145,146 is based on the Tipo platform as many other Fiats and a few other Alfas. So you could look for an engine/gbox from any type of car since the amount of work needed to fit an inline engine is massive. Fun though.

Again, the such modifications to the 33/sud seem to me a complete waste of time because such a conversion messes with the vehicle's balance. The biggest thing going for the sud/33 is the low mounted boxer engine hence a very low CoG. Driving a 164 in comparison is enormously top heavy and it is absolutely nothing like driving a 33 around corners. Installing a V6 or inline 4 is going to ruin that experience in the 33/sud! Yes, more power is nice, but these cars just do not need huge increases to be fun. I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Spend your money on moderate power increases/engine uprating and handling/brake upgrades. You WILL give WRX's and Skylines a run for their money
