Here's an idea, take a Punto 60S, get an industrial sized shoe horn, acquire a 2.5 V6 from a totalled Alfa 156 & use said shoe horn to install Alfa V6 into Punto. It'll cost money it'll be a pain to install but sure as hell be fun once completed, the question is is there any hope of this happening? Or is the Alfa engine simply too big?

no hope

Why is that dave? too big?

You could do it if you spent stupid money on it, it would handle like a boat though.

well the 5 pot barely fits in and causes steering lock problems so forget the V6.
also you havent even considered what the weight would do to the handleing

just buy an alfa and call it a punto

Twas just a thought I had in my head... I'm so indecisive and have too many ideas :tempt:

would be good if it could handle well

Guess you could put it in the back a-la Clio 3.0 v6 stylee.

Anything is possible with a few sleepless nights and several hundred cans of beer later. Just take for example Beardy off of the corsa sport website, he managed to squeeze a 3.0 engine into a Corsa B! On top of that he has plans for a turbo. You want a guy who can help you with a crzy conversion he is the guy. Im sure someone on here must have tried soemthing crazy like this before. Just go for it, get several credit cards use one for the carryouts and beer and the others for custom parts. Would be mental to just say you had a v6 in a punto! who cares if it couldnt handle, the point is you have done the seemingly impossible, big respect to whoever can pull this off.

Why not go all out and try and fit the 3.2 V6 from the GTA models? :worship:

Size prbs wont be the prob, but think about it, 2.5 litre V6 in a FF car??? Torque steer wud be through the roof, but yeh, if done cud be a crease. hmmmmmm wt about a RWD conversion......now that wud suit it especially in a punto o yeah £££££ w*nk lol

Lol just look at the way the Alfa 147 GTA handles with a V6 Lump. You have to force it round bend GREAT FUN though! . There would be a lot more chance of getting it in a Grande IMO.

why not the 3.7 from the GTAm ? :devil:

or a 2.0 inline 4 that way it wouldn't weigh more than the UK and it would handle better than a cruise liner

No, it's a V6 or bust, I LOVE the alfa V6 engines...

well buy an alfa,seriously to fit that ngine oyu would need to put a whole new front end on a punto.
or buy a car big enough to take it
