I don't want to imagine asking AR engine spare parts in Opel or Hyundai parts dealers...

I'd heard that is only the short block, that Alfa would do their own top end etc.

From what I hear over at the alfaowner.com forums, the blocks will be produced in Mexico and the engines assembled by Holden in Australia. Shocked
But yeah, Alfa are free to use just the block and add their own dodgy Italian alternators, belt tensioners etc to make sure it's not too reliable!

now there is an idea. 250bhp rear wheel drive 33. Twisted Evil
shame i cant afford a gta 3.2 lump.
it would be lots of work too.
i was just thining of a 75 gearbox and adding more power to the flat 4 via a small turbo or super charger. that or getting a scooby lump stuffed in there.
