There is a bright yellow Bugeye in CT that sports a 180+HP Alfa 1750 and CR
gearbox. The conversion was done many years ago, and if it weren't for the
flares....
Strangely enough, I like stuff like this, perhaps because I helped build a
McKee-Chev from a "kit" and stuff a 1300 Alfa in a Zink sports racer back in
the 60s. And had a friend who put a Corvette engine in a 55 Ferrari after
the second V12 blew. Once looked at a Maserati 300S with a Pontiac V8. All
this was very common 30-40 years ago.
I could see a "engine swap" class....
But I apologize if this starts another long discussion - it is an effect of
cabin fever....
