Great find for some serious power!

These coupe engines are in plentiful supply and cheap. I've seen complete cars go for £500 so that's a big engine power upgrade with scope for plenty of more performance (300hp) for little cost. The V6 conversion is lovely, I've been in Nick Troth's car a few times and seen Rachael's coming along in his workshop. This conversion is very, very quick and never runs out of puff.
I actually bought a 164 Alfa with Nick, stripped it and was about to do the conversion when I felt the uno turbo was the best compromise for me. I didn't want to lose my wheels I currently have (I would have had to go to the 5 stud)and the moving of the wishbones was beyond my capabilities, plus the fact that I would have had to chop up the rear arches and made some big flares (Nick would have had to have done all this for me).

The uno engine is becoming more and more rare now. Bang for buck (190hp in reliable standard form), I think this 2.0 turbo conversion would suit really nice existing cars like Mark's below, where as the V6s (as they are so further modified in the body) are best left to the cars requiring restoration. It's always a shame to chop up a nice car. For me personally, I've done my modifying for now. Now that Mark's car is back on the road again I'm starting on my blue 1300, keeping it as original as possible.
