Interchangeable parts
I have a 84 Alfa gtv. There is an 84 Alfetta for sale. How much of the
mechanical parts are interchangeable? Is the engine/gearbox/prop shaft/brakes and suspension the same? The body on the gtv is really straight, but mechanically not very sound. Thanks Ian |

The only one that I think won't is the propshaft which, I *think* is shorter on the GTV. SteveH will be along with his anorak in a minute though. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 TS 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

To be fair, my special area of knowledge is newer cars than this. However, you're spot on. The oily bits are almost completely interchangeable.

On balance we decided that having a spanky LSD 3l box and transaxle kicking around made it worth while using it Although I fancied having 4 stud wheels at the back and 5 at the front.

Here in the US the sedan was not sold. What I know as an Alfetta is the 2+2 sports coupe that has the same body as a GTV-6 except that it has a flat bonnet (no bulge or "tea-tray") and a 4-cylinder engine. -- George Graves The health of our society is a direct result of the men and women we choose to admire. |

Alfetta was a 4 door saloon, GTV was a 4-pot coupe, what you describe as a GTV was a GTV6. Technically, a GTV is an Alfetta GTV, to differenciate it from the older Bertone GTV. The 'V' is commonly mistaken for designating a V6 lump, however it actually designates 'veloce'. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
