Came across this link awhile ago, can’t remember where but hopefully wont be a repost here but only just got round to looking through it and thought it would be worth a share here, it’s not complete yet but will definitely keep an eye on it

me too, I used to think along the lines of the purists but have changed and would prefer to be on the side of pissing them off instead of agreeing with them

Parted out slightly rusty shell with a bad paint job. Sure. Why not?

tbh... i think the only times i really agree with the purists is when someone hacks up a pristine car.... not that i really have a problem with it... its just such a waste

true, if it really is pristine then yeah a bit of a waste

I have toyed with the idea of putting a 75 2.4 TD engine in an Alfetta GTV body I have lying around.

Indeed, no idea how long till it’s fully up and running though , could be a while :(

over the past 4-5 months so many ideas have been flying through my mind, could get this car and put that engine in etc. most seemed to involve v6 or v8s and arches on classics lol

This needs to be one-upd with an M57 swapped supra

or an OM606

I’m not a big fan of diesel engines but I do know that some mildly interesting ones exist. Alfa Romeo did use a very weird shortened VM Motori 1.8 liter turbodiesel in 33. If I remember correctly it’s the largest three cylinder diesel engine ever to power a passenger car.

I only ever read about that one in a more or less official Alfa Romeo model index. I wonder if it was a I t a l i a n - m a r k e t o n l y version ?

M57 or an OM606 aint one upping the 6BT for intimidation points
![]() 09/17/2018 at 19:47 |

Maybe. In any case those are very rare.

It will best it for bhp though

all about that torque tho, made for towing

Just saw this, and it’s not gonna best a 6BT for power. There are 2500-3000hp 6BT’s out there. People us e these for pulling competitions, so the aftermarket is absolutely massive. You can make a reliable 750hp out of these.

fair enough, I don’t really know much about 6BT’s
