I realize that the majority of the owners in this section of the forum are V6 owners, as am I.
I’m assembling the components to drop a v8 in a Sunbeam, whether it is the current car, a different Alpine or a Tiger project. I just picked up a 6 bolt 289, which I will go through, I pick up a rebuilt narrow case HEH-E trans next week. I have a line on the larger Toploader bearing retainer, as well as a drilled/tapped 6 bolt bellhousing that have the casting in the right spots for the narrow trans. The linkage/shifter are available after market as are all the other bits and pieces I can think of.
Besides @PROCRAFT are there any others with a small block in their Alpine? Any other key/hard to get pieces I’m missing?
