Milano 2.5 engine into 79 Alfetta

["Kyle Chenier" <kylechenier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy all. I am going to assume that several someones havbe put a Milano 2.5 
V6 into an Alfetta. That's what I'm wanting to do. I have the entire '79 
Alfetta, and the '87 Milano donor. What do I need to worry about? Apparently 
the transaxles are a direct fit swap, so i'll put in the Milano's, as well 
as the driveshaft. Do i have to relocate motor mounts?

What about things such as Tach and Speedo workings? Do those come out of the 
transaxle? Are these electrical? I believe the Alfetta's is all mechanical 
(at least the speedo). Are the Milano's? (I don't actually have the Milano 
yet -- should get 4/25). What do i need to do to have an accurate 
tach/speedo (assuming guages work properly)?

Ignition shouldn't be a problem, as i guess i can just take the computer out 
of the Milano and put it somwhere in the Alfetta, as well as appropriate 
wiring.

Any warnings from people who have done this before? Any advice or tricks?

Also, the rear brakes. Vick AutoSports in TX lists the Milano and Alfetta 
ass having different rear brakes -- which would i need if i use the Milano 
transaxle? Will the Alfetta rear end still work properly, ie holes all the 
right size?

Thanks for any and all responses.

Cheers,
