Okay, not much (as in none) action on the Alfetta GT/GTV6 forum:

I'm referring to where and how the engine mounts in the engine bay.

I'm toying (toying being the key word here) with installing my Twin Spark in a GTV6. I'm trying to find out what I'd be up against. Obviously the exhaust system would be totally different. I'm also not sure if I could use the GTV6 driveshaft and (being lazy here) if the gearing of the gearbox/differential would work (successfully) with the somewhat less powerful TS.

I somewhat doubt if this has been done before and the less hassle in making this change the better it would be including helping me make up my mind.

For what it is worth: I know of someone who put a TS engine into a 75 (=Milano) that was originally a V6 car (it is a race car). They had to make some adapters for the engine mounts. That seems to indicate that you may have to do the same. I understand it was fairly simple.

Jes, thanks. This helps. Though I plan on keeping my TS stock (from a model 75) I'd be interested in what else this person did to make it race worthy.

This is a friend in Denmark. Initially, I think he just ran the TS pretty much stock, perhaps it had a recent rebuild. Their racing is classified according to the HP/weight ratio, so increasing engine output may just make your competition tougher. BTW, I believe all cars are dynoed and weighed at the beginning of the season with random re-checks throughout the season. I understand that there are other issues (such as reliability) than increasing output that may be worthwhile for a race engine, though, I'm not sure they did much in that regards, at least initially.
