All those conversions?

Dear Alpinists, I wonder, if there is some kind of archive of different conversions made to Alpines? I mean Ford V6 engine swap, negative earth conversion, a Toyota 5-speed trans, etc.

I thought I could write an article about american style of car hobby. We in Europe, specially in Finland are very fundamental in originality (?). I have seen one early Alpine with a Humber engine with OD, but poor mechanic had not had an idea to cut the propeller shaft. So the engine was put 5 inches forward, and radiator was in a hole cut straight in front of the engine bay.

So I would be very thankful of any hints of interesting conversations made.

Thank you in advantage!

Larry
