Re: TS thread

[Bernie & Diana Bennett <bennetts@domain.elided>]

I'm wondering if the twin spark was offered anywhere with the wonderful
sport mode electronic automatic transmission which the US 164LS's had?
If so is an engine swap possible? More importantly practical? Looking
for an Alfa engine with a steel timing chain<g>.

Best Wishes,

Based on some dyno data Ford took on the GTA Jr. exhaust system, I'm quite confident that the Alfa engineers looked at the entire system when they originally made the TS heads.  And when they did the later TS heads in the '80's, they basically improved what they already had done.
