I want to replace the 1300 engine in my 1976 Giulia Super with a 2L engine/transmission unit from a Bosch spider that I picked up recently. I'm hoping that the collective wisdom of this list will help me figure out what additional parts I'll need.
I've got a European market Nuova Super 1300 with the original drive train. The 2L engine has most of the ancillaries on it, including an A/C compressor. The clutch is new and the transmission was recently rebuilt but never actually used because the PO gave up on reassembly of the car. I've also got a set of rebuildable Solex ADDHE carbs jetted for a 2L engine. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a vintage feeling/looking Super that has a lot more grunt and is capable of being fitted with air conditioning. I'm looking for a fast touring car - not a track car. My questions right now are these: 1) Can I use the 1300 intake manifold on the 2L engine? 2) I've been told that the intake ports on Bosch FI heads are different from earlier designs and I'll need to get an earlier 2L head. Is this true? 3) Would the 1300 cams work on the 2L set up with carbs? Any insights or recommendations would be appreciated.
