I'm currently restoring a 1967 Giulia Spider and would love some advice on sourcing rare parts. Does anyone have experience with the nuances of the Giulia's mechanicals? I'm particularly interested in finding a reliable supplier for the iconic twin-cam engine.

I've recently acquired a 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT that's been sitting in storage for decades. The car has some minor rust spots and surface corrosion, but the body is largely intact. I'm considering restoring it to its original glory, but I'd love to hear from fellow enthusiasts who have experience with this model.
Can anyone recommend a good resource for sourcing rare parts, or advise on the best way to tackle the restoration process? I've heard that these cars are notoriously finicky when it comes to electrical and mechanical issues. Are there any specific areas I should be mindful of during the restoration?
I'm also curious to know what sort of performance upgrades would be feasible for this model, without compromising its original character. Should I aim to keep the engine and transmission stock, or consider upgrading them with modern components?
