I'd guess some of them got scrapped for the transaxle. They were popular for midengined V8 kitcars. Didn't the Delorean use one too? Yeah, the DeLorean used the 12 Valve odd fire Douvrin V6 in Volvo spec I believe. 130 federal brake from a 2.9 litre six banger.....FAST. Allegedly the one in Back To The Future had a 289 V8 in it, but that could be plums. Doesn't sound like a V8 on the soundtrack either, but dubbing's a wonderful thing - listen to the Alfa on The Graduate.

My brother in law got one when I was a kid, he thought he was the up and coming exec! It nearly bankrupted him, and could only get rid by a trade in against a basic Skoda Estelle, only a Skoda dealer would touch it! They had a resale like a used condom. Very comfortable and quick in it's day but it rusted faster than a speeding bullet!
