Mike,
There's more to a Tiger than stripes and a 260 V8. If memory serves me, it has a
different transmission, drive shaft, rear axle, and beefier suspension.
Well, I suppose if I can occasionally think of droping a Triumph TR engine into
my BGT, you can think about a Japanese engine in your Alpine.
Take care,
TeriAnn
