Maybe a very slow conversion of a series 3 1725cc Alpine Automatic to a 2800cc Ford cologne V6 engine from a Ford Capri 2.8i ( 88-99-PF )

Engine swap (part two)
Busy few days.
The engine mounts were cut out.
Nice to see some of the original colour. It will return to that colour one day.
Steering bar replaced. Awkward to fit.
Trial hanging of the engine.
Will the engine go in with gearbox as well?
Annie wont be impressed with the state of the carpet!
Lots of things get in the way.
A few extra dents and chipped paint.
The oil filter was still on in this pic.. it gets in the way.
The remote filter will be fitted shortly.
Ready for takeoff captain...
Its not in the right place yet but it doesn't look so big now it's in.
I need to cut the transmission tunnel at the gear lever end to be able to push the engine back further.
Then the mounting position can be finalised.
And then pull out the engine again.. :-(
