So It has taken a while but I have found a 2.8 for my 63 Alpine S3, compression 150 to 155 across all cylinders not bad for a 1995 2.8 out of a Ranger. I still have a couple of days of waiting to receive motor as it has to be shipped from two provinces away. That would be like 6 states or California to Wyoming for you southern members. Time to talk to Dan again and get kit ordered. I have also being talking with engine shops for machining/rebuild of engine and have narrowed it down to 3 shops. Now its time to pick one to start with once I get engine torn down and complete visual. I'm opting to go with 2.8 while someone completes their journey of figuring out the 4.0 swap (go Dan go). Once that is engineered might look at another swap.
I have attached some pictures of what I'm starting with. Its a very solid car with fresh rebuilt engine (430 miles) and some additional parts that came with the car. This will be my first Alpine and first true engine swap. Wish me luck/patience and any advise is welcome
