Re: Re: [alfa] V6 Alfetta sedan for sale

I have fitted a 3.0 lt V6 into the sedan for a race car. The 2lt will never
have the balls of a 3.0V6 unless we go turbo charging, and thats another
story. I would hardly call  some of alfa's V6 sedands flops, the alfa6
excepted. To get  200hp from a 2lt without a turbo? The thing would be a
hand grenade. My V6 will have 260 without being a hand grenade. The alfetta
sedan is a better balanced car than the coupe and having an early sedan with
a V6 is different. I do not think it is worth fitting a 2.5lt into a sedan.
The gains are nominal.
Cheers,
Dean

2L would be a better choice for this.   Both would give ~200hp with the 4
giving back some weight.   If you have a penchant for EFI over carbs,
there's always the TWM or GSXR throttle body option with a programmable of
your choice.
