history of the 164 3 litre?

[Daniel Pham <dpham@domain.elided>]

Does anyone out there know when the 91' 164L  3.0 engine was developed? Was
it ever used by Alfa to race? I heard it was developed in the 60s by Alfa
but never put in production until the early 80s when it first appeared on
the GTV6s. Did it initially have a timing chain and that w/Fiat financing,
fuel injection and a belt was put on for production? 


Just a little curious
