Alfa engine in a Marcos.

If he could do it, so can I.
I will probably have to use a narrow type oil pan.

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.
