Marcos Maniacs

I have always liked British cars, and Alfa-Romeo's.
Now I will have both at once!

It looks like I am buying a rebuilt 2.0 Alfa engine and trans for the Marcos 1600.
Seller spent over $5000 U.S. on the engine.
I am getting it for less than half, and only 100 miles on it!
It is a "warm" engine, 10.4:1 compression, Euro cams, Webers, etc.

So I will try it out, if the performance is insufficient I will complete the build of my extreme 
custom Alfa 2.0 engine and swap it in.

I doubt that performance will be lacking, top speed may not be as insane as I would hope, 
but will no doubt scare the hell out of most passengers in such a light car.

I may also add an Alfa rear axle, gaining four wheel disk at the same time.

I still have to decide what I am doing for wheels, but now I will soon be able to sort out the 
engine and trans fitting.

I also recently bought a gallon of wood glue, now I need a source of prime ply-wood of the 
proper type to complete the chassis repairs.
