Series 2 suspension
- Thread starter JonPiz

Hi JonPiz
The stock Series II front suspension doesn't have to be modified, just that I would suggest checking to see if it is in good working order. After the conversion, I suggest that the front end be aligned.
The Ford type nine transmission came behind some of the 2.8 Cologne engines, so is a natural choice, plus, I understand that the transmission tunnel doesn't need to be modified to make it fit the Alpine body.

JonPiz,
The parts we can supply that will help you install the 2.8 V6 into your Alpine, are the motor mounts and transmission support crossmenber. You might want to contact Mark kirkpatrick, who lives in a suburb of London, to ask him what he was charged for those pieces, and the shipping to the U.K.. His e-mail address and phone number are below.

The guy that has already gotten his V6 Alpine running a year ago, is Chris Spain, who also lives in a suburb of London. His e-mail is below. He has told us that he's thrilled with his converted Alpine. He could also be a good source of information about what he had to do to install it. He did his own mounts, and didn't use our parts, but the amount of work necessary, should be comparable.

Chris also own a Tiger, and says it is hard to decide which one to drive. They are very different, but both are thrilling to drive.
I used to smile every day that I owned my converted Alpines, and I drove them every day. Rain, snow sleet or dark of night. If yours doesn't make you smile every day, it's because you'd need to check yourself for a pulse
