v6 conversion kit?

O.k. so I've got a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine given to me, but the motor was toast. Completely seized, cylinders full of sawdust and the head is deformed. So I've completely striped the car, put in on a rotisserie, blasted it and now I have to figure out what kind of engine to put back in it. I have read lots about engine swaps and it seems the conversion to a Ford 2.8 liter V6 is the most common. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the person who makes and distributes these kits? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Randy

V6 Mod Kit

Go to members list find"V6 Jose".Click on his name and you will be able to choose how you want to communicate with Jose.Built my V6 in early 2000 still driving it with no problems. Ive logged 22,000 plus miles of pure driving pleasure. This is the quickest way to driving a modified Alpine. There are other engines you could install but for my money this was the quickest route. Besides all that the tech support from Jose is tops.

Hi Randy,

I am stlii making kits and have a few on the shelf. It is the one that has been being made for over thirty years and still the best engineered and the best looking. it makes the little V6 look like it came from the factory like that.

Just send me your phone number, time zone and best time to call, and I will call you. We can then discuss your project.

Jose

Triumph in Calgary

Had you stated that you live in Calgary and ride a Triumph in January, you would have assured your place here.

As it is now, I'm on the fence.
