I really wonder about why they would want to turn it into a V8.. are they teaching fabrication?

For starters a SII is not ideal as it has the early front end, lever arm shock rear with different sheet metal where the telescopics would mount on later car.

Then you have the issues of things like steering, trans tunnel and a myriad of other differences between an alpine and tiger.. let alone an early alpine… If they are gogint o make a hot rod and build thier own front end, steering, trans tunnel and modify the rear and replace with a different axel.. sure.. otherwise do they actually know what they are in for?
