Ive been driving an Alfa 146 1.4 TS for almost 5 years now. During that time ive invested some money in her and done her exaust, intake, suspension, brakes, did some work on the interior and repainted it.
Anyway the car is in great shape for a 10 yr old alfa. The only thing she is lacking is power.
So i thought about swaping the 1.4TS engine for a 1.8TS or a 2.0TS. Now i know its a great bother and that it would be simpler to just a buy a stronger alfa, but most of them are in pretty bad shape and it would cost me just to make them streetworthy and reliable.
My question is can a 1.8TS engine fit on a 1.4 Transmission? Im pretty sure that 2.0 cant. And if not what elements need to be changed with the engine and transmission? Driveshafts? Homokinetic joints?
