List, Mike is right on in that it depends on what kind of racing David intends to do. On an Alfetta GT and a Milano 3.0 I went with 12 inch steering wheels...
... I've toyed with exactly the opposite idea -- putting a 1300 crank in a 2 litre, to build the most rev-happy Alfa ever. I doubt I'll ever actually get...
i think you are spinning your wheels. first you would have to send the crank out to someone who does crank work like Hank the crank in burbank, ca. then think ...
No real way to do 86 or 87mm bore practically. We are already splitting liners at 85. Autodelta never ran more than 84.5 (according to the CRH). The power is...

Thanks for the thoughts Micke. See previous response re: lower wishbones. So are you saying the Alfetta has 1. Front roll centre below ground ? 2. Rear roll...
< How do I lower the rear roll centre on a solid axle ? The Watts link pin in the axle IS the roll centre. You could lower it. How much ground clearance can...
