If you are serious about building an Alpine and installing a V8, I have a fellow hobbyist who happens to have an Alpine rolling chassis with a Tiger front crossmember already installed, complete with the rack and pinion steering. It also has the Tiger firewall and transmission tunnel installed. It has no motor or transmission, but he does have them if you needed them. As far as I know, the car is fairly complete and the body is in good condition but needs paint. No major rust that I am aware of. I can put you in touch with him if you like. He does not have a computer, but I can give you his telephone number. He is here in Phoenix. My email address is:
I have no interest, financial or otherwise, in this car. I’m just trying to help out two car guys, one who wants a V8 Alpine and one who has one to sell that is ready for a V8.
