This is my substitute Alpine. It has the same engine, gearbox, overdrive and back axle. (and some other Rootes bits & pieces) Is it allowed on a Alpine meeting??

You don't fool me! In your heart you think this is the most beautiful car. This is how the Alpine should have been
I am not certain what engine it is. Can be some mixture because is has a nice "urge" over 3500 rpm but feel strangled by the Twin Stromberg setup. Anyway, I am going to replace it with "new" engine. We will see what is inside.
Unfortunately are the good Powermax pistons not to be found anymore. I suppose it's necessary to get some "American" made ones. Is it Venolia? how much can a set be?
