Could be lots of fun or a nightmare, depending on your expectations.
Building a V6 Alpine is a adventure. I chose the proven method of the 2.8 V6 because of wanting performance and the desire to get on the road. Six months later bingo Im driving everyday. Along the way since I built my S2 changes have come but always the 2.8 Ford remains the easiest option. The quality of the Jose Kit parts remains a standard. I received my kit before I had a donor engine and was proud to display it on the shelf to show the quality.I knew looking at those parts I would not short change the build. Yes you can use other engines but does it fit easily,will its weight suit the handling of the Alpine ect. Build with a V6 Jose kit, stick to your project everyday and you too will be driving and enjoying your Alpine soon. I love it. Driving to out of town events is a car show in its self. Every gas stop is a car show. I was leaving a local cruise in one summer night I had already started my Alpine when a young boy and his mom came up to my drivers door staring and the mom said " He has a Alpine just like this" He opened his hand to reveal a James Bond early series HiFin Alpine. Son! I turned off the motor opened the door and told him to sit behind the wheel. Made his day, month and year all at one time. What a thrill! Share your experience with others you just might make some one happy. Sorry for the long post but when YOU build a car you enjoy so much its hard to contain it. Thanks to Jose and all the others that had a big part or some little part in the Alpine Mod experience.
