A couple of inaccuracies but overall very good!
It was a 363CS not 343CS and I'm forgetting what the other one was. |

Yes the Alfa transaxle , they had the twin plate clutch on the front of the transaxle rather than on the engine flywheel , They might as well have fitted the Alfa 3 litre V6 whilst they were at it :-)

My brother had a twin spark 75 and we polybushed the entire transaxle assembly and I have a feeling it was inboard brakes so we did those while the assembly was out. |

Yes my other brother went through about 8 alfasuds and restored a couple, they were much more readily available and a lot less rotten in New Zealand.
He also had a couple of 33's and fitted the 1.7 engines in to the suds. He also had a couple of 164s including the 24v Cloverleaf |
