Camshaft L152?? What's that, about $240? Woof!!!! Delta Cams in Tacoma,
WA did my old cam to H120 specs for about $40. They have about 40 different
grinds available for the Alpine.
I've believe Holbay has a manifold that will work on the Series V (as far as
angle goes), but you'll still have to provide clearence around the brake
master.
According to an article last month in the Alpine Club "Horn," the exhaust
manifold is very good, but won't work for Series V.

***** NOTES from Jay Laifman (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 9/12/95 9:14a
In the letter I received from Holbay, "D Barnes" specifically stated that
the manifold that he is selling will fit my car (I gave him all the
particulars necessary). But, I do note that his price list only shows
one exhaust manifold and I did just look at the Horn (great issue) which
did say the standard H120 manifold wouldn't work. As to the
intake manifold, when I was looking into buying a manifold, I was told
that the Holbay Alpine after market manifold would cause the carbs to hit
the steering box on a left hand drive car. But, I do not know for sure.
It is also possible that the manifold I have was taken from the Holbay
one -- but I was told it was off of a manifold by "Derrington" (or
something like that) imported through Canada in the 60's and 70's.
Clearance around the brake cylindar is certainly an issue. I had to get
a shorter master that would fit between the firewall and the Webers - and
make some other adjustments as well.
