Posts: 1,558 Thanks: 52 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Fiat Bravo > Alfa V6 Conversion What I would suggest is totally overhauling the look of the V6 lump when you get it and totally prep the donor car before sticking it in (if you haven't got to fabricate engine mounts etc) Most people that do engine conversions leave the engine looking used. For me, it ruins the end product. Sounds like a very good conversion, I can guarantee you now... that V6 Alfa engine is going to sound saweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! ![]() Goodluck and keep us updated.
