Marcos Maniacs

Hi, I am old alfisti that resently bought a 1600 marcos with chassi 
number #5178, the car after yours Bob and only a few after yours 
Richard. My car is i near mint condition but has been club raced in 
Sweden on and of the last years. About your conversion plans for a 
Alfa Nord engine i think you maby will have a problem with engine 
hight. You will probably ned a dry sump convertion for your engine. 
For a aluminum engin the alfa engin i one heavy piece.... It will 
probably weigh 30-40 kilos more then the crossflow ford engine. But 
it is a nice engin that will give you lodes of torque and without any 
problem 160-170 usable bhp.
