Alfa Romeo V6 sizes?
Does anyone know the rough measurements for the Alfa Romeo 3 liter 24V V6 as found in the 164? I've been looking all over, but I can't
find anything...

what sort of power do those make, how much do they cost, how reliable are they, how many tunning bits are available and what sort of price ?
(just thinking of a friend who wants something around 2 - 3 litre pushing out min 300 hp and he's not afraid to super charge - ok, he wants to
super charge)

Power is between 210 to 230hp I believe, depending if it came from a 'regular' 24V or a Q4.. availability shouldn't be a problem,
there are plenty of old 164's around.. reliability.. well.. uhhmm.. it's Italian.. 
I haven't heard about any serious problems with these engines though..

300bhp
There was a turbo version, but it was a 2 litre 12V, and made similar power to the n/a 3.0 24V.
A good (and healthy!) 3 litre 24V with cams, a good exhaust system (including headers!) and a good inlet system should be pushing out 270+ bph, and
that's without reworked heads / valves!.
And it'll rev to 7300RPM easily, and it sounds absolutely wonderfull!

mind you, this is a mega $$ project with just about everything bought " off the shelf". Not really locost...

I can only tell you the size of the 12v (only 190 - 200 BPH as standard I'm afraid), but if you want a whole lot of info on these engines, go to
these site.
The cars I bought were complete, and cost £150, and £142. You can sell the bits from them for more than that.
The 24v is a fair bit wider than the 12 and wil not fit the locost tho'.

who's this friend then Mike??????
Must admit I hadn't really thought of the Alfa option, dismissed it as not enough power but with the supercharger it might be feasible!!
