I am NEW to sports cars though I have owned 2 series V Alpines for 20+ years. I plan to build one but 20 years ago I built the 1725 engine for one...but never fired it. I do turn it over once a year by hand. Reason? I was a car builder (street rods) and gunsmith who had a car NUT build a 4 bay shop behind my house where I built cars. Building cars and guns (I had a federal firearms license for years) keeps one busy, especially when I went to work for a city police dept. to get some retirement funds built up! What is an engine worth...w/trans and wo/trans? I have two bodies to make one and will sell the engine/trans or build second car to sell. All depends on if $$ is worth effort to build!? Any help is appreciated. chasj43@gmail.com or 254-643-4867 for questions. I am 70 years old but still very active and in fairly good health and looking forward to my "sports car" years learning all I can about little buggers with big motors!
