Prior to everyone crucifying me in writing, I am sure this question will be controversal and offend many a purist.
But, I am curious none the less:
What is the level of difficulty to swap the traditional GTV6 2.5 litre motor out and replace her with a non-Alfa power plant?
The benefits of such a transgression would be as follows, in order of importance:
1. Better Reliability
2. Less Preventative maintenance
3. Less expensive maintenance
4. Better performance
Obviously, the 3.0 Milano power plant will fit. But then again, this motor is set up for the transaxle as well.
Does the tight proximity of the engine bay require and tighter angle V6 (e.g. 30 degree v. 45 degree)?
Would any of the older Ford or Chevy V6's work?
Would they need to be fuel injected or could they be carbuerated?
Would a drive shaft have to be manufactured?
Does anyone have any experience with this or can you direct me to an individual that might be able to help.
