Can the twin spark engine from the Alfa 75 fit with clearance under the hood of a Alfetta GT (4 cylinder hood)?

Thanks,
Dom

Yes. They fit under everything other than a GT Junior Zagato and 105 series spiders.

Oh, i recalled someone on the alfa digest measuring it up and not having clearance on the 105 Zagato? Happy to be proven wrong... now would a 2.5 fit? :D

Yeah, but the spider i'd seen it done to needed a bonnet buldge to clear the cam cover/oil filler from memory?

Twin spark flywheel in Alfetta

Can the twin spark be dropped into the Alfetta with its own flywheel? In other words, are there any differences between the flywheel/driveshaft interface of an Alfetta (of late 70s era) and the twin spark? There was a sugestion to pull the flywheel off of the Alfetta and put it on the twinspark because of driveshaft issues. Is that true?

Thanks,

All 4-cyl Alfetta based are the same as far as I know.

no real difference between nord and TS flywheels ... TS one is around 2.5-3kg lighter and its more dished ... i will make some pics and post later :)

Lighter? I have them both and haven't really seen any differance in weight, the TS one seems to have the weight further out though as the ring-gear is different.

Interface should be the same

Sweet indeed but doesn't look like a TS to me (might be wrong though)

Mats, the early Alfettas had a 10 kg flywheel. My -78 anyway. The newer ones I have are 8 kg I recall.
