Hi Darren: The massive cost of the 24 valver is not in the acquisition, it's in the overhaul expense. Valve guides for a 24v Alfa engine are $45 each, and there are 24 of them. For the 12 valver they are $8 each and there are only 12 of them. That difference alone is almost enough to buy a supercha...

I would go with the 12 valver over the 24 valver. It's a lot less money and that cash can be better spent in other areas, like the blower, intercooler, etc. A supercharged 12 valver can easily make enough power to blow up most transaxles that could realistically fit, so I don't see any need for the...

My idea was to drop in the complete drivetrain fron the coupé, engine+ transmission. Should fit fine? It fits in between the wheels at the front and they swivel quite a lot you know. 8) But maybe the Montecarlo is just too narrow? To make a proper "replica" install would be silly in respe...

I second this, go the Lancia 037 route. It's the natural progression! :) A Fiat Coupé 16v unit would do it! Or maybe the Montecarlo Group5, what did those have? Love the car, looks like you put a lot of work into it! Hi Mats, It is an idea, but it is a helluva lot of work, plus the engine is the wr...

NICE!!!!!! How about turbo/super charging the four that's in it? Not different enough? zig Hi Zig, Thanks! ;o) Turbocharging the engine I have would require a complete rebuild and a lot of fabrication work. Ditto with supercharging. Although, it is possible to use the Volumex unit, but it needs eit...

Hi Garth,

Thanks for that! I know for a fact they really do fly with Alfa V6 power. Looking forwardto getting stuck into this project!

Hi Darren, That's a really nice Montecarlo. I have quite a bit of experience supercharging the 12 valve Alfa V6 and some experience supercharging the Alfa 4cylinder.

Hi Guys, I was given a link o your site by one of the guys on the Alfa Owners site. I have a Lancia Montecarlo, which I spent a long time restoring. It has the standard Lampredi twin cam unit in it for now, but I want to fit a 3 Litre V6, like it was designed to have. I have a friend who has already...
