The engine still makes me smile, on my way to work doing 60mph and overtaking a middle lane driver, a ford driver came right up my rear. I dropped it into 3rd, floored it and just sat there spinning, I had to feather the throttle to get traction.
It was wet but I have never experienced that before
Sounds like you need new front tyres
Only joking.
How's the car coming along?

I always thought that 5th gear could have been a bit longer for less revs at higher speed.

Big thanks to Mark @ WSAR "West Sussex Alfa Romeo" the engine is now in and up and running. If it were me fitting it, I would still be there trying to sort out the wiring for the ECU, well done Mark
!!
Couldn't fit the sud box, as the box didn't come with the tail end and the 33 gear selector doesn't fit.
The PS pump was removed and the rack emptied of fluid.
The clutch is so light, my bearing was gringing into the clutch, making it heavy.
Had to use the standard FPR and damper, need a oil breather filter and to connect the lambda sensor.
Steering needs both hands on the wheel and is quite heavy, the induction noise is awesome, the acceleration is great, it keeps pulling, can't wait to try the 1.5 or 1.3 box.
Its like driving a totally different car, I need to get used to it

Cheers Pat
Nnamdi, I picked up a race engine today, 160 - 170 bhp, its the engine that was in pats car, I can't believe you still haven't called me lol
The engine should be fitted Wednesday, insurance know all about it and are ok with it.
I am also fitting a 1.3 sud gearbox, it may need the speedo sender modified, if I cant get the parts then the engine install will have to wait.
