Actually, I was thinking of stuffing the whole thing in a Fiat X-19,
which probably would not work. A Fiero chassis is larger and has removable
plastic body work. So I could make it look like a Stradale.
OK, I am 61 years old and have more than enough Alfa projects to last me
the rest of my life. So this endeavor will probably never happen.
Maybe I should put it in my Milano. Clearance for the brake
booster might be the major obstacle.

I cannot say with any certainity but as the transmissions were the same for
the whole 164 run, I'd say that they'd bolt up.
Only concern I'd have is the TCU (if so equipped) and getting back up lights
to work when reverse is engaged, depending on how you're planning on doing the
swap.

There is a dark blue 164 LS for sale here in Oklahoma City. Owner wants
$2,000. I offered $1000 for the engine only.
This Alfa is an automatic with about 157,000 miles. The automatic is
going out and the front suspension / driveshafts has problems. I am not sure
exactly.
The engine is good with nearly new timing belt and new idlers.
Can anyone tell me if the 4 cam engine bolts up to a five speed from a
common Alfa like the 164 L or base model?

On another note, I was at a cash for clunkers auction at Manheim the other
week, a 95 Alfa 164LS with 232,000 miles sold for $500. I was more taken aback
with the mileage, especially since it was a 24v car!
