Hi friends,

An AR01608 is and Alfetta motor.  They are two version, the 01608S (till late 75),
with 122 hp DIN, and the 01608X with 118 hp DIN (from late 75 on).  This engines
were found on Alfetta, Alfetta 1.8 and Alfetta GT.

Original two litres engines on Alfetta and Alfetta GTV were AR01623, with 122 hp
DIN, till late 78, then engine model was AR01636 with 130 hp DIN.

Sincerely,

David Santamans
