A few years ago, Master Alfa Romeo Technician, Nick Muto, owner of Alfa Tech Center in La Habra decided that he would tackle the V6 project. He took his own 1974 Spider Veloce, gutted the engine compartment and began doing something that few Alfisti have attempted -- installing the high-performance Milano Alfa V6 -- an engine designed for a high performance 5 passenger sport sedan weighing 3800 lbs* into the 2900 lb* Spider (*GVWR). His result differed from those achieved by most others who attempted similar projects. This retrofit succeeded in creating a radically improved Spider that retains both its Alfa Romeo and Italian heritage, will pass emissions requirements and is quite street-able. Performance tests have not yet been conducted but using basic performance achievements of the 2.5 liter Milano and allowing for the weight reduction of the Spider’s lighter body, the positive results seem apparent. Personally, I have driven one of the retrofits and it feels absolutely beautiful – the responsiveness and torque are totally apparent – and when driven with gusto the rear tires will chirp with each gear shift!
