another car of mine, my gtv6, bought in 2011 with the intent to upgrade it, so original state was not nessesary. the car was stucturally sound (no rust) but the interior was tired as was the front suspension. nice sounding 2,5 engine but underpowered. so, quickly plannes arose to do something about it. options were: tune the 2,5 (very expensive) find a 3l 12v(scarse) turbocharge a 12v or build a 24v to fit, i opted for the last, because at the right time i was offered a 164 24v for pocket change(relatively) getting hold of a complete car meant that most important parts were available. converting a transferse engine into a longitudinal placed one is quite a task, even when the shortblock is basicly the same. things to be changed: oilsump ,oilpump, flywheel, because the alfetta is a transaxle wich has the clutch in the back, themostathousing and piping, intake must be custom build, exhaustmanifold custombuild, wiring harness, oilcooler, ignition, ecu, strenghtening of the enginebay and fixating engine, to name but a few let the pictures speak for themselves....

thanks about the car,as can be seen in the pics, the car is fitted with 305 gta brakes, it has a new recaro style interior less the driversseat wich is a sabelt raceseat, detachable steeringwheel, 1silencer, no cats, squadrachip, qv spec intakerunners. normally this engine produces 232hp whit cats unchipped, it now is chipped, bigger intake,no cats,equallenght freeflowing exhaust, lightened flywheel, so do the math, i guestimate performance at 250hp (probably more)
