Technical Barchetta compatability re: parts.
I could be asking a stupid question here. But.... would the 3.2 V6 Alfa Fit in a B?
I need to know what engines fit the B as mine is at 150,000K so I will change it next year for a new one. So something with more power would be good.

Anything will fit if you pay enough money, I know of someone who fitted a Formula 5000 engine into a Ford Cortina!
Anything say an easy replacement.
Engine, gear box, clutch, ecu that drops in... with out much modification?

2.0 Alfa twin spark? 155 bhp out of the box.
I'd wait for confirmation, but it's very similar to the 1.8 engine - which after all is a 1.8 twin spark, just without the twin plugs. Only thing that might be an issue is the extra clearance around the cam belt area - there's also a balancer shaft belt which pushes things out a little further.

...and the 3 year/ 36k cambelt change, and increased oil consumption.
It seems to depend on the engine, my 2.0 156 didn't use much.

There are some that use more than others but for someone who isn't used to it, I thought it would be best to mention...
True, true
I have been told on here that the Arese Alfa 2.5 V6 will not fit.

the alfa 2.0 twin spark i s about 1 inch wider due to the balancer shafts
recently a guy appeared on our polish forum
who did fit the 2litre twin spark, but he removed the balancer shafts
and made a "custom fit" from the bottom of the alfa engine, and the upper part from oem B

My cousin has a 2.00 ltr twin spark, and even though we are close i still get the upper hand when having a go with his. My B is 153bhp.
Havent had a chance to get the Turbo on yet. but looking forward to the upgrade.
