Title: GTV vs GTV6 parts
Post by: Smity42 on April 21, 2010, 01:33:45 PM
Hi guys,

I'm just wondering if the following parts the same/different between GTV (2L) and GTV6?

Engine Mounts
Front flywheel
Bellhouse
Drive shaft

If they are different, would ones from a 2.5L V6 Alfa 75 be the same as a GTV6?

Anything else I would need to put a V6 in my GTV?

Cheers,

Martin

I'm not sure about the tail shaft and bellhousing, but the GTV6 engine mounts and front flywheel are definitely different to the GTV items. I suspect tailshaft and bellhousing will be different as well but i'm not sure.

GTV6 bellhousing and front flywheel would be the same 75/90 V6.

the tailshaft is bigger for the v6 to cope with more power
if i was you, and up grading a gtv4 to a six i would replace the entire under car being you would want bigger brakes better gearbox ect

A tiny point..
Tranaxles dont have bell housings. It's actually a rear engine mount.

...doesn't matter where you go there's always a smart arse isnt there?   :)

A moot point...

105's have a bell housing that encapsulates the clutch and couples up the gearbox to the engine.
Transaxles don't have bell housings.
Might look like one but it is actually a rear engine mount only.
The thing around the transaxle clutch is a clutch housing but I am certain you know that and so once again no bell housing.

10 points to who can tell me what the starter motor is mounted to on a 116?

Starter is bolted to the "rear cover" (page 01-88/15 of December 1985 factory manual).

Choderboy for what's its worth, I thought you gave Smity42 some excellent advice in the first place and calling it a bell housing or a rear engine mount doesn't take anything away from that.
