years ago at the st. louis convention, a kid had entered a guiletta with
a volvo engine. he had cut out the hood so the su carbs would clear. it was
most, um, "festive".

i believe that the hood shape of the guilia and guilietta are slightly
different, as the 1600 engine is taller. the 1750 and the 2000 out of the
105/1152 are even taller still, and fitting them to either a guilia or a
guilietta might be challenging.
