Not blasphemous at all, at least it's all Alfa (not like the infamous 
Milano/Volvo of a few years back).

Yes, the 105 1600 engine will fit with little concern, as will the tranny. 
They're pretty much identical from a dimensional point of view.

The rear axle is a standard 'upgrade' for 101 racing types, the LS of the 105 
is desirable as is the disk brake set up.

The drive shaft will have to be modified, I believe. Shortened, but best to 
make your measurements once everything else is in.

Don't know about the other engines fitting.

Which model 101 were you thinking about? Spider? Sprint? Sedan (saloon)?
