Hi Barry,

Thanks a lot. That's an impressive conversion. The plan at this time is an Alfa rear end, Fiat 131 trans, and a 200hp engine. I don't suppose you have turbo manifolds for the old Fiat twin cam do you. It might be easier to turbo this thing.

The Panhard rod is short, but the car Barry pictured is a drag racer so I don't think it will matter. If this project goes through I will probably do something different there.

I am sending the guy the estimate today. I don't expect him to take it. All the custom work for the 131 trans, Alfa rear end, driveshaft etc. really drive up the cost. Then there is the forced induction system, intercooler, aftermarket injection etc. Ouch.
