I tend to agree Peter, though unlikely I would go down that route in my case. Having said that, Alfa's Giulia 2.9 v6 will perhaps be a good choice.
Taking into account the slow progress of my project, by the time I get to choose an engine, I feel a great modern alternative to the supercharged 4 cylinder engine of the original would be an electrically assisted turbocharged 4 cylinder (not to be mistaken with a dual stage electric and turbo charging). These engines are already making an appearance and I guess 4-5 years down the line will be more widespread in the "hot hatch" part of the market.
